Expressions of a Birthday Boy

Ivan has always been the little entertainer in our family. Yes, he’ll dance for us, or “show off” with a silly stunt, but his real talent lies in his facial expressions. This boy has an expression for every single thought in that smart little head of his, I swear. He’s taken his lack of understandable vocabulary and turned it into a theatrical performance that any pantomime would be jealous of. And it’s not just us that notices. He’s very good at making strangers smile, or even sometimes laugh. He knows when to turn-it-on for an adult, or especially his mama…who can’t help but giggle at “the look,” regardless of circumstance. He’s quite the character, as many like to say. And now he’s 2 years old! Here are a few birthday photos that capture just a few of the many many faces of Ivan. Enjoy.

You’ve got my attention even though I’d rather turn back around and keep playing in the pool

I’m not in the mood to smile for the camera so I’ll give you this face to work with instead

Alright, you’re not getting the hint that I don’t want to smile. Now you get “the look.”

Yes, I’m excited to get into the pool already. Stop bothering me.

Fine, take a photo of this.

I’m tired now from the pool photo-shoot.

Blue sandals! Just what I always wanted.

I’m tough, grown-up…and ready to fight a fire.

but now I need help putting my helmet back on

Why is he touching my stuff?

A cake topped with bananas?!!! This is the best day of my life!
Happy Birthday Ivan!
