Happy Birthday, Fox!!

Now that Fox is 2, he has acquired some very advanced skills. Below is a drawing he did of a star. I was amazed, so I took a picture. When I asked him what is was, he said it was a ball (Grama Fischer, who Fox calls "hi," was teaching him to draw a ball this weekend). Even if he doesn't know he drew a star, I am still impressed. Not all genius is intentional, anyway.

Fox's photography skills are also improving. Here is a picture he took of Mischke (with Daddy's help). Maybe he will follow in his cousin Jackson's footsteps...

And here is Fox smiling big!

Here Papa helps Fox read one of his new books that he got for his birthday. Notice he is sporting his new "lala" shirt, which he wants to wear every day (granted it has only been two days since he got it, but he wanted to wear it both days and cried today when we told him it was dirty).

Here is Fox scooting around on his big wheel, which he calls a "cycle."

Opening presents was a lot of fun. Cousin Josh was a good helper during this process. I like that you can see Fox's lips. I imagine he was saying "ooo!"

And here is Fox blowing out his candles. It took a couple tries, but we got there in the end!
Fox and Daddy had a fun time playing stickers.

Fox doesn't officially turn 2 until Wednesday, the 21st. So, he is still a baby until then! In other news, we are likely getting a dog. That will be a good present for Fox! Not so good for Mischke, I am afraid. But we'll see. Maybe it will do her good to see another animal in action! She might learn not to bite and scratch so much. Otherwise, we are happy and healthy, and Fox's little brother is growing nicely. In three months, we will have a new little guy to play with! Yay!
