No Longer a Baby...

That is right, Grant is now officially a TODDLER.  His actual 2nd Birthday was yesterday, but Saturday was a very busy day, so we decided to celebrate today....

I know it seems strange to have a football cake for a 2 year old, but he LOVES football, he even sleeps with one.  The lady in the Publix Bakery actually made this one especially for him... check out the GATOR orange and blue... sorry Foe Foe, no Auburn Tigers here.

Grant kept blowing out his candle before we could sing to him, it was sooooo cute!

Thank you to everyone for the phone calls, he loves having "Happy Birthday" sung to him.  Just like last year, I imagine we will have to keep it up for a week or two until he gets tired of it.

Well, I mentioned yesterday, Grant's real B'day, was really busy!

Here are the boys waiting for the Lynn Haven Raider Mighty Mites to take the field in the Bay County Championship Game.

It was a beautiful day, if not a little warm for the first half.  I even had my jeans rolled up.  Let's just say, noone wanted to get to close to me at work.  (I had to race there right after the game.)

Here is Todd Jr. (#75) sitting the bench. 

Which is where we thought he would be for the entire game.

Until...

With 4 minutes left in the game, which LHR was winning 22-0, Coach Cedric called the defensive subs to get ready to get into the game...

And yes, there he is (in the very center of the photo with black arm pads and orange socks) having taken the field.  And guess what? 

Just after this photo was taken, he tackled the ball carrier!!!! 

Woo Hoo!!!  Go Todd!!!

We were all very excited and proud.

And even though there have been some challenges, he really wants to play again next year.

And even though everything should go your way on your birthday, sometimes you just need a time out...

He is still cute, even when he is in trouble for climbing up the bleachers after Mommy and Dat Dat told him "NO"...

Well, we hope everyone else had a great weekend and we wanted to let you know that we changed the setting on the blog comments, so you should be able to leave a comment if you like without having to open a Google account.
