Happy Birthday, Caligator!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

We left the balloons in Cal's room for a few days after his birthday just because he loved to play with them so much!

We celebrated Cal's actual birthday and gave him a cupcake in the backyard as he/we opened his gifts. 

 

To celebrate our one year old boy, we threw a small soiree in our backyard.  Many of our friends and some family came to watch Cal gingerly pick the icing and sprinkles off of his cake, while concomitantly feeding Ollie bites. 

"Here!  You look like you want some!"

Quite a few young kiddos and babies were at his party, so it was fun watching them all interact and play together.  Cal and Brody are only 6 days apart and they had a blast playing with the balls.  Breckyn Murphy, Brody's older sis, joined in on the fun, too!

  

Here are some more pics from his party.

Cal was full of giggles and smiles with Suz and Chad!!

The big oak tree out back provided our party with ample shade, but the wind died down and it got a little warm!!

Here's one last pic from his birthday, after his outfit change due to icing smears and sweat rings (just kidding....no sweat rings, but he was much more comfy in the sleeveless top!).  He looked so cute in the fedora from Aunt Hoffma.

We recuperated on Sunday and Mitch enjoyed a quiet Father's Day.  His gift??  The ability to watch the US Open for SEVEN straight hours, uninterrupted.  He got a few other things, but I think he was most excited about his time with the tube. 

Cal hasn't drank anything but milk and water, so I decided to give him a sip of my Crystal Light Lemonade one day just to see how reacted.  It was hilarious....he smacks his lips like it's a little sour, but also the best thing he's ever drank.  He gulped down half of my glass!

I have some other random pictures to include, but for some reason this posting won't allow me to manipulate where I place them, so I'll have to start a new post.  I wish I knew more about computers....no scratch that, I wish blog interfacing wasn't so confusing.  I blame it on the blog.
