This is by far our favorite picture from the day! We started the morning by measuring Caleb. He measured in at 2 feet 9.5 inches.
A Mecher tradition is to have sticky buns for breakfast, so here is Caleb making sure they are cooled off.
He got a "doodle pro" from the Condaps...thank you!
Then the real fun began! We were all ready to head out the door and go to the Kohl Children's Museum...but instead we headed to the Evanston ER. Caleb was running from the kitchen to the dining room and tripped and totally cut his lip. It bled a lot and had a pretty big cut so we weren't sure if he would need stitches. To be on the safe side we went to the ER.
The doctor said that lips heal really well and that giving him a stitch or two would be way more traumatic for him. He sent us home with a rubber glove full of ice and told us to buy Caleb some popsicles.
Our pathetic birthday boy!
We weren't going to let a fat lip ruin our fun, so we headed to the Museum anyway. Of course the batteries to our camera died so I didn't get too many pictures there. Caleb had so much fun, he was really into all the exhibits and especially enjoyed "shopping and Dominicks".
Here is his "2" shirt.
I forgot to mention that Caroline is in town! We dropped off dad at work and picked up Caroline. After naps we went for a walk to the park. Caleb brought along some cars in this little bag...so funny!
Yes, Jackson was with us the whole day too. Here are some pictures of the smiley guy.
And we had some friends over to celebrate with cake and ice cream.
"Happy Birthday to You!"
It was a great day. It is crazy to think that we have a 2 year old. These 2 years have gone by so fast, it has been an amazing experience to watch this little boy grow up before our eyes. He is such a blessing and we are so thankful for him. Happy Birthday Caleb!

Next, Caroline and Caleb put the frosting on the cake.

Happy Birthday Caleb! Can't believe it's already been two years since he was born . . . insane!
I thought I was going to look dis-proportionately huge in that picture. Man. I can't believe the picture of me came out badly. It's all about me.
Oh yeah. . . Happy Birthday Caleb.
