Party # 2

Alex woke up full of energy and ready for party # 2 on Sunday. Notice the Advil bottle in his hand? That's for mommy!


Some set up for the party.

Putting salsa out again



Fruit and chocolates


And we can't forget the soup spoons




At 3pm our guests start to arrive


Here's our neighbor, Tom


Our former neighbor, Rebecca


And Colleen with her daughter Jane

Alex personally greets Jake and Jane


Not a party without Brian and Bijal


And of course here's our little family. Alex is ready to party.

Our guests help themselves to some food


We decided to get to the cake early since Alex technically skipped his nap that day.

Since we were loosely going with a safari theme, we ordered a lion cake and an alligator cake

Lighting Alex's special little cake. He must think we're obsessed with cake.
This is the third one this week!




Singing Happy Birthday.


Blowing out the candle



Alex and his cake. Of course, the first step is to inspect it.


And then stick a hand in



Daddy gives Alex a taste


Getting a bit messy


And messier


Did any of the cake actually end up in Alex's mouth?





Just like the day before we decided to stick him in the bath.

Have you seen a more exhausted baby?



Jane comes to check in.



After his bath, a quick round of goodbyes.

Presents from day 2



and here are all his birthday cards



After a nice refreshing 2 hour nap, time for some presents again



He instantly took to the classic corn popper





He got all these toys


and clothes


In the end, he wanted his favorite toy of all time. MAU.



Alex did not want the party to end. We on the other hand were totally pooped! We tried to get him to go to bed but he decided otherwise.



The parties were so much fun but we're so glad that we have nothing planned for next week!! Looking forward to a nice lie in and lounging around.
