Happy Birthday, Michael: Part Two

It was birthday weekend, round two, at our house. That meant that Michael got new balloons, new cake, new presents, and new friends with whom to celebrate! It was a bunch of fun all over again (except this time he had a little too much sugar and got crazy hyper, crawling around the living room). His absolute favorite part of birthday parties: the balloons! We hung out outside, and the weather cooperated for the most part.

We had lots of activities: jump rope,


babies swimming,

and highly competitive badmitton games!

Michael LOVED his new toys and his new singing birthday cards even more.



His friend Brendan helped him open some gifts and even taught him how to use a couple of them.

He needed no instruction with the xylophone, however.



Beth baked him some fabulous carrot cakes!


Michael stuck his hand in the frosting but didn't understand that his hand should then proceed to his mouth.

JD ended up feeding him under the table.


One of his new toys made him crazy!

He sure is a loved little boy by friends and family alike. It took JD and I a day or two to recooperate again from all the fun. Thank you all so much for your love and support of our family.

jump rope, swimming & badmitton? sounds like I missed out big time. All nephew Mike now needs is a warehouse for his presents
