The Birthday, Part 2.

On Saturday, we sang Happy Birthday to Alex. He didn't even mind, meaning, he didn't even cry. I guess we just weren't loud enough? And the good news? He doesn't just love eating sand! but he loves eating my cupcakes, too. (Phew.) (For those of you on Facebook, sorry, lots of these are repeats and this may be old news to you. A mom can only take so many photos and do so much photo editing!) ;)

He knows something is going on in the kitchen.

Planting one on him!

Here comes the cupcake!

Can you see Bella's excitement?

Far enough away so as to not burn tiny little hands.



Bella helps her little brother out.

His first try. (Why is it that they never use their hands?)

Yep, I think he likes it.

My boy. xoxo

Finger-licking good.

Oh-So-Messy. :)

While on our walk the day before, out of nowhere, a birthday present appeared in the middle of the street!!

Turns out it was a birthday present for Alex from our good friends, who were waiting behind the tree to surprise him! It was so awesome!

Balloons, books and friends. A perfect birthday combination. He was pretty content. :)
