Blaine's Birthday and Bryce Walking

We've had a busy week!!! We had Blaine's third birthday on Saturday, Bryce cut his first tooth on Sunday, Blaine turned three on Monday, and Bryce turned 11 months old on Tuesday!! Blaine had a great Birthday party, even though we ended up having to move it in-doors because of the weather. I think the bounce house may have been more fun (i.e. easier for the adults) than the park would have been anyway!!! Todd and I made a Mickey Mouse cake, trying our hand at fondant for the first time. We thought it turned out quite well, especially considering we made our own fondant. And just in case you were wondering, homemade fondant tastes MUCH better than store bought!! Blaine got many exciting gifts for his birthday, but I think the highlight was probably his new 'big boy' bicycle!! Bryce had a blast at the party too........he had plenty of people to give him LOTS of attention. What more does a baby need?

On to Bryce related topics. He is growing and changing every day! He started walking about three weeks ago (a little past 10 months) and gets a little better at it each day. I'm still not sure I would consider it his main means of transportation though...........He walks till he falls down and then he crawls to the nearest object or person, then gets up and does the same things again. When he is super excited or in a big hurry to get somewhere, he intentionally drops to knees and crawls as fast as his little hands and knees will get him there! He is begining to say several words now including Ma-ma, Da-da, bye-bye, bye, bite, ball, hi, and uh-uh (uh-oh). His favorite past-time is eating!!! More often than not, if we sit down for a meal, he eats more than Blaine does these days! This is especially funny considering his weight is barely even on the charts at the 3rd percentile!! I'm really not sure where he puts it all!


I will leave you all with a few pictures from Blaine's Birthday party!
