Mr. and Mrs. Smith

My baby turned 2!  I guess he's not really a baby anymore, but we'll just pretend he still is.  He celebrated his big day by going to church and doing puzzles in nursery.  Then he took a nap in prepartion for his party that night!  He and his cousin Ellie are only a few days apart, so they celebrated together.  And yes, Ellie is only 5 days younger, even though she looks 5 months younger.  If you listen to her talk though, you would think she was five years old!  Landon's vocabulary mostly consists of bah-be (baby), mommy, doggie, and a few others.  He's the strong silent type!
