Photo Celebration

Hunter enjoyed the week-long birthday celebration, especially since that meant enjoying birthday cake on a regular basis. (Maybe it's a good thing we aren't celebrating anymore; too much cake --- though tasty-- is too tempting to have around the house.)

On Wednesday (last week), we celebrated with a playdate at the playground, complete with friends, juice, and cupcakes. Hunter loved the attention (he was the man of the hour, after all!), and the freedom to climb the playground equipment. (The tunnels were his favorite, probably because he could play peek-a-boo with whoever was standing outside the tunnel.)

Saturday we celebrated with family (both sets of grandparents, Great Grandma Teddy, Uncle Ray, Aunt Mel, and cousins Alyssa and Kenzie). After devouring lunch (that boy can pack away some fruit!) and cake and ice cream, Hunter opened the gifts... with a little help from his cousins and sister. His favorite gifts were a set of cars that you pull back and let go, and a Cozy Coupe, which didn't surprise me or Scott since Little Man LOVES to ride anything with wheels. Apparently, Leah loves the CC, too; so much so, that she got up early Sunday morning, went downstairs (by herself), and camped out in the CC along with Hunter's toy remote! I think this toy is going to be pivotal in learning about sharing. 

And, to cap off Hunter's week-long party, Sunday night he took a few steps on his own from the couch to his CC. (Mind you, he hasn't done so since, but it looks like he's in the final stages of not walking. Watch out, world!)





 What's a birthday playdate without cupcakes?

 It's a DUMP TRUCK (not a bus, as my dad thought).


 Hunter loved walking around with Alyssa.


 Scott opened up the Cozy Coupe and the kiddie pit crew sprang into action.

 Hunter immediately took to his dog pillow-pet. Guess it's the next best thing to owning a real dog.


 I think he'd live in his CC if he could (and if Leah let him).

 (Me to Scott: "I wish you'd smile for the picture." Scott: "What? I am smiling." 
*sigh* seriously? At least the kiddos are cute!)

Yea, ladies. Check me out!
