Birthday Month

Hard to believe its been almost two years since the little fella joined our lives. Or changed our lives. Completely and forever!

No bitterness! He continues to thrive, surprising us every day with his acute intellect. And I'm not just saying that because I'm his mother... Seriously, this kid is smart. Numbers, letters, social interaction. I think he's accelerated. You guys just wait- you'll think your kid is a genius too!

Anyway, as the title declares, it's birthday month. We are having a small family party this Sunday (March 9). I do not know how some parents have parties every year for their multiple kids. Last year wore me out. This year we're making a train cake! Yeah! Pictures soon!

Lunch at P. Terry's Burger Stand, before heading over to the Zilker Nature Center. Wes & Fletcher eat at P. Terry's once a week. EEeesh.

Fascinated at the animals in the nature center. The main reason we go to this nature center is because Fletcher is in love with the owls. Unfortunately, most, if not all of the animals are injured and cannot live on their own in the wild. Therefore, most of Fletcher's beloved owls have eyes or wings (or both) missing. Sad.

Horned owls, as featured in "Gus & Sam Light Up The Night." This is an interactive book that Fletcher adores. But he calls it "owl choo-choo book."


Barred Owls, as featured in Beatrix Potter's "The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin." Oh, I know ALL my owl books!

Ooh, so excited!

Undressing at 8:30 AM. I probably had JUST gotten him into that shirt...

Temp tattoo from a kids' meal. He wanted me to take it off after I put it on. Sorry, kid. Tattoos are for life!

Batman! Pajamas purchased at a children's resale shop
USED TO HAVE A CAPE... but don't anymore... wah!
