We had a great time at Peter's second birthday party. When the cake came out, he got very excited and knew it was his job to blow out the candles. He didn't have enough puff, though, so mama had to give him a hand. Here is Peter trying to blow out the candles while Karl-
Gustav looks on.

Peter loves animals. One of the gifts he received for his birthday was a bag of plastic jungle animals, which he uses to attack each other and to pretend to frighten us with their growls.

In all of his two years, Peter has never had a haircut. We kept discussing when we might do it, but really loved the curls and the way it looked, so we kept putting it off. But now that he is two, we have finally decided to bite the bullet and cut his hair before we go to Finland. This is Peter yesterday (Sunday) showing his Sampson-like locks.

Here's another before picture of Peter. We will post the after pictures as soon as we can.
