time to celebrate: aston turns two


i really can't believe how much this little guy has grown since i met him for the first time when he was just a few days old. two years ago on a chilly february day, aston's mom and i stuck him in a basket and took some pictures in order to introduce him to the world. today, he's still a bit of a pipsqueak, but there was no way this little man was about to humor me and take a picture in a basket!


aston was far more interested in being behind the camera and pushing all of the tiny buttons, but once he gets warmed up his huge personality was ready to shine through.


in the middle of running around, punching balloons, and laughing like lunatics, aston decided to call it quits. i thought we might be done for the day, but luckily i know aston's weakness...chocolate chip cookies! boy after my own heart!


after a little snack break, the star of the hour was back in action.  it was especially helpful to have big brother, alexander, along to show everyone how it's done.


not only does aston have a birthday this weekend, but he is also being baptized! so glad his christening outfit arrived in time for the photo shoot...and we managed to keep it nice and clean.


i'm excited to share in this joyous celebration as we welcome the church's newest member...and eat some cake and cookies!

happy birthday, aston!!
