Happy Half Birthday to Lionel!

My baby is a year and a half today! Super sweet, silly Lionel is halfway to two....wow. He's at that perfect age right now where he is still so baby and yet, so toddler. He loves to eat with silverware, stabbing anything on his plate with his fork and feeding himself - an independent little bugger, but he still prefers my lap to any other seat. He's the happiest kid I know, waking up in the morning with a huge smile. His language has grown leaps and bounds and he loves to say the words he knows and show off. The kid LOVES singing "Happy Birthday", so it was a fun treat to have his half cake tonight. And no judgement about his lack of shirt.... he's already been through several shirts today and bath was next. And no comment about my creative fraction candle. I tried!
