The party with our friends was more of a "one last get together" than a true birthday party. But, we had cake and presents, so it counts. Calvin only tasted a bite of cake, but LOVED tearing the paper off presents. He got his first hard plastic dinosaur toy, and he fell in love with it. He also got an few books, a puzzle, and new bedding.
For the family party, I decided to make a dinosaur cake. That first dinosaur toy triggered a fascination with them, so it was only fitting. I was pretty proud of it!
From family, Calvin got a few toys, several books, and a couple CDs of music. His very favorite was his xylophone. He was so, so very excited about it!
This time, we let him have a piece of cake. He was a little unsure at first, but after a few tastes he let out a loud "mmm!"
He ate a few bites of cake and then proceeded to make a fun mess.
We've still got a few days until his actual birthday, but I've been thinking about it a lot these past couple weeks. It's a little crazy to realize it's nearly here. But, we couldn't be happier in any way with this wonderful little boy of ours!
