More Birthday Party Shots!

Gavin and his buddy, Kaylee! She came down from college for the party. She was Gavin's first babysitter when he was 13 weeks old!

Daycare wrestling buddy, Thomas, and his mom, Renee!

Our buddies, Derek and James came up from Littleton.

Gavin's best neighbor buds, Morgan, Liz and Riley. He is always very excited to see the girls!

Tatum, Jen, Theresa and Asher, my co-workers!

Birthday Party!

On Saturday, we had a party for G. We had some of his little buddies come over for a visit. It's a little tough sharing your toys with everyone else, but we managed! We had more cup-a-cakes and apps compliments of Costco! Henry saw the cupcakes from across the room and made a bee-line for the high chair. He was not going to miss this! Liam also enjoyed his cupcake! More photos in next post! Thanks to Kaylee, we got a few shots of G blowing out his candle!

Opening presents on his birthday!

After dinner on 3/23, we though we'd let Gavin open a few gifts. We wanted to save a few for Saturday night when Uncle David and Aunt Jen came over for dinner. Here are a few of G wearing his birthday shirt from last year - yes Miriam, I retired it after I saw him in it. It's a bit small! Gavin's favorite gift of the night was the calculator from Maria! She says all the kids LOVE playing with the calculators at her house. It was certainly a hit! He also liked his new choo choos! I must say, he really got into blowing out candles and singing "Happy to you"!

Baking Cup-a-cakes!

The night before Gavin's birthday, we made cupcakes in ice cream cones to take to daycare. Well, daddy made them and Gavin and I helped ice and sprinkle them. We also taste tested them! I think Gavin liked them. For the next week he'd come home and ask for a "cup-a-cake."

Birthday week!

Millie sent Gavin his birthday present early. It was sitting in the dining room on the table for about a week before his curiosity got the best of him. One day he pulled it off the table and carried it into the kitchen, got up in his learning tower and decided it was time to unwrap it! He was very excited to see new bath toys! He can tell you that there is a dolphin and a frog in the set. The first night we used the toys he insisted on putting everything back in the box after his bath. That's our organized kiddo. Thanks for the fun toys Millie!

Stinker!

The same night as the sandbox photos, daddy must have been at CTRC volunteering. Gavin decided he needed some water so he got his booster seat and took it over to the fridge. He was just tall enough to reach the water and make a mess! We don't usually let him have cups without lids so he was pretty impressed with his wet self!

My sandbox

Each night after work/daycare, Gavin and I take the doggies out to the backyard. This has become quite the routine. We don't even go into the house first, we get out of the car, get the mail then let the dogs out the back door. Gavin proceeds to find his dump truck, shovels and bucket and we take them to the backyard. On the evening these photos were taken, we had to do a diaper change half way thru playing so these photos are from post-diaper change. He doesn't really let me put his pants back on. He also requested his boots. You'll get a good chuckle out of these!
