Gilbert turns Two!

Our baby Gilbert is now officially not a baby anymore...though yes he still ends up in our bed at night and yes, I still give him a bottle of milk at night when he wakes up....he is a toddler. We celebrated his birthday a couple of weekends ago with a brunch of yummy food and a lovely farm themed cake from Lamb's. I figured, I made all the food, couldn't do the cake, too and I'm glad I didn't. It was very cute with a farmer and his crops and bunnies hopping in the distance. Gilbert is REALLY into tractors and trucks and absolutely loved it.
Photos will follow, just have to get them developed.
Gilbert is talking a lot now and you can understand most of the things he says. His favorite phrase is "who's that" which means either "who or what is" that and results in endless responses to endless questions....hmmmm....that sounds familiar....I'm still doing the Q&A game with a darling 4 year old we all know and love!
Ultimately, Gilbert's favorite person, next to mom of course, is his sister. He LOVES Evelyne and she is really pretty good to him. She will share with him, help him on his potty, read to him, share colors with him, and let him play in her room with her toys. The only objections she has is if she has been doing a craft and he comes along and bulldozes over it with a pen or a truck or his person...but c'mon who wouldn't object to that.
All in all, Gilbert is a sweet soul. He is very loving and cuddly and often says "I love you" in a whisper when he kisses you. He is starting to miss Nathan after he has him for the weekend. Inevitably Monday morning rolls around and he says "Daddy Go?" Meaning where is dad...
He loves. He loves us and we love him back...isn't that just the best feeling in the world? I hope it continues beyond two in some form anyway....
