Pre-birthday festivities

Oma came to visit for 5 days and we had a great time. A couple of days before her arrival I started 'preparing' him for her visit and he was very excited about it (every time the front door bell would go or the phone would ring, he would say ' Oma?') On Wednesday when she arrived he went running to her arms and it didn't take much time for him to prefer her lap over mine.
Oma was here to celebrate his birthday (a week earlier as she needs to go back to Brazil). We had a very nice weekend and bought several gifts for Kaio, including a radio, which he carries around and tries to drag anyone to dance with him (it's mostly Oma that ends up jumping around with him). Oma was so amazed in how he is talking so much, repeating all the words we say and just so able to communicate with us so well. She is happy to see he continues giggling and being the happy baby/toddler she has known for 2 years!
On Saturday we met up with Jason's cousin John and his wife Steph, who were in London for a couple of days. They had last seen Kaio when he was 3 months and were amazed in how much he had grown and what a fun personality he has (he started shy, but after a couple of minutes was playing with them!)
1) Oma's favourite place - Starbucks!
2) Kaio loved his birthday balloons
3) 1st cake for his 2nd Birthday (Kaio was great in blowing out the candles!)
4) With John and Steph
5) Kaio playing with Vinny
6) Kaio had a fun weekend!
