Dallin is 2!

Dallin turned 2 years old last week. I baked him a cake and he got to lick the spatula.
(Don't worry, I cleaned the spatula off first. I didn't feed him raw cake batter.)

He got to open lots of presents.
He loved the felt food I made him.
I'll post more detailed pictures of the felt food later.

Here he is surrounded by his spoils. We couldn't even get him to look up long enough to smile for a picture because he was having so much fun playing with his toys.
He got a plastic dish/food set to go with his felt food from Grandma and Grandpa Easton. And he got some presents earlier in the week from his Crapo grandparents, including a xylophone which he loves to bang on early in the morning. He was in heaven.

In the months leading up to his birthday, I was so hopeful that he would actually eat his birthday cake this year. And then a week before his birthday, he had a breakthrough! While we were in California, he tried a homemade chocolate chip cookie, and he actually swallowed it! And ate several cookies. Since then he's been trying more food and actually eating it!

He tried the cake...
and he ate it! It's a Birthday miracle!
Mmmmmm, finger lickin' good!

YAY! He looks so cute and happy to have all his birthday presents. And I can't believe he ate the cake. It is a birthday miracle. That felt food looks really cool. I need to make some.
