Happy 2nd Birthday!

These are actually pictures from Tanek's "Cars" birthday party we had on the Saturday after his birthday (the 23rd). He had a fun day playing with family! He had the attention of Mommy and Daddy, Nana and Papa, Mimi and PawPaw, and Ms. Jennifer (his godmother) and Juliana! Isn't Juliana cute? You can see her in the background - she is a little China doll!

This is Tanek's actual birthday. Nana bought him some "Cars" balloons to play with on his special day, which he loved! He is very into the movie "Cars" right now, in case you haven't noticed. He thinks Lightening McQueen's name is "Mine" because his shake 'em up car says "The checkered flag is mine." Ever since he got that car, that has been his name! Tanek is so funny sometimes! He now has "Cars" everything (at least it seems like it) - blanket, towel, wash cloth, books, movie, chair, many many cars, rug, backpack, fork and spoon, sippy cups, pj's, swimsuit, etc. It's a little excessive, I know, but at least his bedroom and bathroom are not decorated with "Cars"!

Here's Tanek in his "Cars" pajamas enjoying his waffle.

Tanek watching "Cars" with Daddy - of course, he has to have "Mine" sitting next to him!

Nana bought Tanek a "Cars" swimsuit for Valentine's Day and he just couldn't wait to wear it. He insisted on wearing it over his pajamas one day while he was watching the movie and he thought he was really cool!

This past weekend (Feb. 16, 17) we took Tanek to Wild Adventures in Valdosta. He loved all of the rides and enjoyed seeing the animals. I think he would have stayed on the spinning rides all day long if we would have let him! The weather was perfect and since it was the opening weekend of the season, there were no lines! Needless to say, we did ride the spinning around rides several times each. Who would've thought the kiddie rides could be so much fun?!
