Wilson, Andrew, and I went into Forrest's room when he woke up that morning and sang to him. Andrew LOVES birthdays and had been so excited about Forrest's, and he loves singing "Happy Birthday" too, so this was a lot of fun for us. Forrest wasn't quite sure what to think, though. :)
Birthday Highchair!
Forrest's 1st doughnut for his 1st birthday breakfast. He and his daddy went to pick them up together. (We also did this for Andrew's 1st & 2nd birthday breakfast, so I guess we've started a tradition.)
Then Forrest opened his presents... with a lot of help from his big brother!
Andrew is sharing the Elmo birthday card that he picked out for Forrest. Andrew loves picking out birthday cards but he has to buy one that makes some kind of noise or plays music. In this card, Elmo talks and says "Happy Birthday". Andrew also picked out a present for Forrest - a Bertie the Bus (one of Thomas' friends).
Trying his new ride and dig toy!
After opening presents, we headed outside to enjoy the beautiful day!
Getting dirty, tasting rocks, being boys!
Forrest had to be cleaned up, took a nap, and then it was lunch time! May-May and Bubby joined us for a hot dog lunch. Have I ever mentioned that the boys love hot dogs? Forrest can put away 2 bun-length hot dogs in no time!
Getting ready for cake... not so sure about the hat!
Forrest's cake that we ate on his real birthday
Yes, this is a gag. This look pretty much says it all about what Forrest thought of the cake. He did not like it!
He does love his milk though! But, we've moved on to all sippy cups now... what a big boy!
After we woke up from naps, we headed to Wednesday night dinner and church where Forrest got lots of birthday wishes! What a fun day with our boy!
