1st Birthday

I know this looks like a replay from last weekend's fun, but this is Mr. Man's Birthday.  Last weekend was Mikkie's Birthday.  Both were at parks and both had cute, cute little guys and lots of cute friends.  My youngest wanted to go so bad but she just had too much else to do.  Work, work, school, homework, laundry, house cleaning, more homework.  So she sent the gifts she got for Mr. Man and told me to take lots of pictures. 

So Mrs. Mattie, since you couldn't go and had to stay home and work, this is for you.

He played on the slide.

He got to swing.  He just might, maybe, possibly like to swing as much as you Mattie.  We had to take him out cause it was making him sleepy.  We couldn't have him taking a nap in the swing when the party was just getting started!

He played it cool, talking to some of the girls.

 Said hi to his Cousin.

 Played with the decorations.

 He liked his presents.  Really he did.  He also really liked the bow that came on the package.

He liked Super Grover too!  But his Mommy loves Super Grover.  He was just a bit distracted by the card attached to a toy car. 

 He loved his cake!  If he could have figured out how to lick every bit off his fingers I bet he would have.

He was just looking at the cake so his Grandpa stuck his hand in it. 

 That is all the hint he needed.  He got both hands in and went to work!

 1st bite

 2nd bite

 3rd bite

He got a little bit on his face.

He wasn't worried about it.

He had some on his hands too.

His Daddy started to clean him up.

It took a lot of baby wipes and help from another one of the Dads to get him this clean!

One of the little girls played peek-a-boo.   

Can you believe how cute she is?  I couldn't help but take some pictures of her. 

Back to Mr. Man....

He had lots of fun! He played and played.

Good thing the party wasn't too long cause he was tired at the end.

I wish you could have gone.  I know you would have loved to have been there.  All your hard work will be worth it in the end.  You are going to make a great teacher.  Nice job on the A+ on your test!  I am so proud of you.  I have lots more pictures for you to see when you have more time.
