Happy Birthday, Jack!

Yesterday was Jack's 2nd birthday. I can't believe he is already TWO! In the morning, he came downstairs to open his big present from Mom and Dad.... His reaction...
Jack's very own basketball hoop!!! Jack loves basketball, so we knew it would be the perfect gift for him. He really likes it. Last weekend when we went shopping for it (yes, we brought Jack with us), Jim carried Jack out of the store and into the parking lot and was trying to find our car. Jack was "talking" and pointing at all the cars. He was saying "ee, ee, ee," and then he saw our car one aisle over, pointed to it, and said, "oooh!" Jack found the car before Jim did! Amazing!
Our neighbor brought her grandsons over to give Jack some birthday presents. Jack loves playing with her grandsons when she watches them. Jack had just had a haircut and was hanging out in a onesie when they came over. Here is Jack with his buddy, Jonah.
Cool presents
Later that morning, we took Jack to his 2-year check-up. I realize that going to the doctor and getting a shot is probably not high on any kids list of things to do on your birthday, but I wanted to schedule the appointment on a day that Jim could come. Jack did fine. We went out to Steak-n-Shake for lunch afterwards. The server gave Jack this toy car and some stickers he could put on it. Fun!

He was not a fan of the hat the server gave him.
Daddy shared his delicious chocolate milkshake!
Yummy!
Non-birthday related: If medicine doesn't work out, Jim could always go into plumbing...
Here are a couple pictures from Monday when Jack was playing with the neighbor's basketball hoop.

Happy Birthday Jack!! I can't believe they are 2 either - not right! Well, Andrew almost is!
Drew and Jack will have to have tournaments now - Jason's parents got him a bball hoop for Christmas, and we just brought it out in the last few weeks for him.
