Hold you Kitty?

Stephen loves animals... as long as they're not too big. This little tabby was just the right size.

Yesterday we took Stephen to the pet store in Clarksville. They've frequently got cats and kittens from a local shelter there. Tracey placed this little gal on Stephen's stroller and he immediately scooped her up into his lap. That was probably the highlight of his day. He was very gentle and super happy to be holding something so soft.

"I'm Two!"

Excuse the blurriness... this was taken with the lights off, but you know how cameras these days try to always make it look bright in a room. Stephen is not keen on blowing out candles. "No. No. No. Too hot!" he whimpered as I tried to get him to lean close. But he did like everyone singing to him, as seen in the big grin here.
I made Stephen a "birthday crown" which he liked to wear. Later in the day he decided he liked wearing it upside-down like a weird sun bonnet.
He enjoyed all kinds of getting spoiled with Grammie and Gramps in town. Here he helps "Bupps" put together some cardboard bricks.
Posing for a McD's add? My folks watched Stephen the night after his b-day so Joe and I could sneak out for a belated anniversary date to Clarksville. Stephen likes playland, but hamburger got the reject button.
Conking out after so much fun.
