Happy Birthday Harper!!!!

On Monday Harper officially turned 2!! Kind of felt like he has been two for a while since we celebrated it so early. I had planned on making him grits for breakfast. He loves cheesy grits!! I usually make them around 9:30ish for Matt and myself and he gets on Matt's lap and eats with him (his 2nd breakfast). Matt had to go to work at 7:30 and Harper got up early around 7:15. So, Matt ran in and snuggled with him on the couch before work. Matt said, "So, Harper what are you going to do now that you are 2?" Harper says, "Eat grits!" It was so cute! So I jumped up and started making him his special breakfast. Then Harper says, "Daddy and Harper eat grits!" Well, that was enough of a guilt trip for Matt. He left to go to work and not 2 minutes later he was back in the kitchen eating grits with his boy! Harper did say he wanted to sit in his highchair and feed himself - I guess when you are 2 you are a little more independent!! That afternoon we headed to the aquatic center for an evening of swimming. Kris, Connor, and Kaitlyn were in town so they came with us. When Matt got off work, he picked up pizza and brought the cupcakes that we had made earlier that day. Harper loved when we sang to him - he loves to blow out candles. Then we came home and gave him his presents. It was a fun day for our special boy!!

Harper and his grits! (sorry the pic is sideways - can't figure out how to twist it)

Harper got a Black and Decker tool bench with tools, a train set, and a magnet boy thingy for his birthday. He loved this hat - it had to be on the whole time. He also had to help assemble the tool bench. He laid on his belly and was tightening screws with Matt - it was so cute!
