730 days old

It's that moment again when time catches up with me and I realise that a person I'm legally responsible for, who didn't exist at the start of 2013, has now been around for two years!  Yes, Pete is a two-year-old, and since birth has gone from a sub-3lb premie to a hulking 30lb+ toddler of mass destruction.  Some of those pounds have been added very recently, judging by his birthday cake intake.

As if he'd read a book on childcare, he awoke on his 2nd birthday and immediately decided that he was not going to put on any clothes or do anything else that his parents requested.  Yes, the twos in all their terribleness are here immediately, so while Pete will grow another year older in the coming 12 months I may age significantly more...

Christmas was merely the appetiser!  Now's the day of real present opening.

A birthday walk on the beach.

Being two - so much more tiring than being one.

Ooooh.  Cake!
