Unfortunately I have no photos to illustrate the extreme cuteness of this, but when I dropped Harry off this morning with Auntie Steph, he was very, very excited to go to the park. His excitement soon spread to Georgia, who joined in his chant of "Go Park."
Auntie Steph told the two jammy-clad tots that they had to get dressed first, so Harry grabbed Georgia's hand and they toddled off together down the hall, holding hands.
No Birthday Cake?
Those words were actually uttered by my son. Let's take a look at how it went down...
But our little man, who considers a graham cracker to be the biggest sweet in the world, did not want cake! "No birthday cake! No cank you Mommy!" he said. (cank you =thank you)
I guess it's a good thing to NOT want all that butter and pure sugar? I just don't understand it.
Because it was Harry's birthday, we let him enjoy all his non-cake favorite foods -- Puffs, Elmo crackers and goldfish crackers. His peeps approved of the spread. Georgia, Harry and Sam feast on the snack buffet.
Harry liked to hear everyone singing Happy Birthday.
Flashback: Here's Mom at 12:30 a.m. the day of the party finishing the Elmo birthday cake.
Let's take a closer look at it...

Happy Birthday Harry!
How did you get to be 2 already? Thank goodness you still have those chubby cheeks! (You're constantly on the move. The only way I could get this photo was by turning Elmo on.)
This is how most of our photos turned out. By the time I snapped each one, you were already jumping off the chair to run off and play!
February Fun
Harry had a nice visit with Aunt Sue and Maggie.
Harry and Dad at their Saturday swim class. After every class Harry gives this report: "Swim with Daddy. Face water. Play kids."
Elliot and Samantha were in town, so everyone came over to play. Here, Harry notices that Ben is reading Alice and Elliot a book. He quickly devises a plan to get in on it.
Harry squirms his way in for a prime seat, front and center between the girls.
Pizza party with Sam, Alice, Elliot and Sam (in highchair)
Harry seems to have noticed that Alice is older and wiser, so during one visit, he decides that Alice must obviously know how to read books to him. Here he removes the book she is reading to make way for the Lightning McQueen book he wants to read. Then he tries to sit in her lap, not realizing he is almost as big as her.
He scores his spot and directs Alice to "read book."
Harry discovers Columbus
We recently took a trip to Columbus to visit Grammy, and took a swing through the Children's Museum there.
Harry made friends in the treehouse with another little boy named Truman. That's right, Harry and Truman.
Harry didn't quite get the concept of the miniature room and tried to force the ceiling out of the way with his head.
Grammy gives the dance challenge a try.
Finally, a game Rob can't win...(Readers, please let me know if you've ever played a game with Rob that he HASN'T won.)
Taking a spin on the dance floor
And like every great place in Harry's eyes, it had lots of cars and trucks!

The World According to Harry
Harry likes to identify people he knows in his books, which makes for some pretty fun comparisons. Baby James is everywhere. I thought I'd share some others...
Here's cartoon "Pa." I guess it's the mustache?
Georgia...Hmmm, I kinda see it.
Alice (or more like "Ayice")...Obviously you see the resemblance with the curly hair, right?
Sam...a little blurry, but he's the blue one...this one I get...The next one, not so much...
"Frank & Nicki"
I can only think that it's because Frank wears glasses? and often has Nicki with him when we see them? But Frank & Nicki, don't feel too bad, because look at "Mommy"...
He also calls a self-portrait by Frida Kahlo, who sports some super eyebrows, "Mommy." :)

Caught!
We put this gate up in the hall one day to keep Harry from getting into trouble while we did some stuff around the house. We left a slight gap at the bottom so the cats could get through, but Mr. Harry Houdini quickly discovered he could slip through as well.
