New toys!

Loving the new tractor!

Can you believe he can ride a tricycle already??

Here's what I get for "smile!"

Loves the new playhouse!

Likes to hit the ball, just not in the right way!

The toolbench is definitely a favorite!

Since his birthday and christmas, he's got all kinds of new toys to play with! We tried several out on Monday since we had a little bit warmer afternoon.

Loving his new gifts!

On January 10, we celebrated Lawson's 2nd birthday with a party at Teddy Mountain. He had lots of little friends come to help him celebrate. They all got to make their own little animals and seemed to all have a good time. Lawson seemed a little overwhelmed and much more shy than his usual self, but I guess that's normal with a crowd. He got lots of fun new toys, books and clothes that he has already started to enjoy! Mom's just got to figure out where to put them!

2 year old pictures

I can't figure out how to edit these before posting, so they are raw images, but still cute!

Christmas morning

Look what Santa brought!

Of course, he had to take Belle on a ride!

Hey Belle, can we both fit in this trailer? You've got to love that morning hair, there was no way I was combing it down on Christmas morning, I think it just adds to the effect!

Not letting go of the sucker from his stocking while opening his gifts!

Mama and her BIG BOY!

He loves this playhouse from Pop and Honey! The look on his face here is just a classic!

On Christmas morning, Lawson awoke to many suprises from Santa Clause. Then, he opened presents from us, and my parents. After the Corley gift exchange, we had breakfast with my family, the Mathises, and my Aunt Karen.

Christmas Eve

Needs to check out everyone's christmas tree!
A favorite new toy!

Kissing the snowglobe? Don't know where he got this idea!

On Christmas Eve, we attended our traditional gatherings, one with Steven's family, one with my mom's side of the family. Lawson had a great time at both, since of course, he got gifts at both. He was particularly thrilled with Steven's cousin's snow globe. For some reason he wanted to kiss it over and over. Too cute!

Aunt Mel's graduation

Here's our graduate! Doesn't she look successful?

Hmmm... what will aunt Mel do now?

She shook President Barker's hand, now she's an official alumni!

See the shiny new nursing pin?

Of course he had to clown around a little during the ceremony!

Getting her pin. She's a nurse now!

Thursday, we attended some very important events in Clemson. Aunt Mel received her nursing pin and graduated from the best university ever! We are so proud of her! Even Lawson behaved through both ceremonies(I think he knew what a big day it was!). He did babble throught the pinning, but I'm sure everyone around us appreciated that you just don't tell Lawson to stop talking, when he doesn't talk enough anyway!
