Temporary relief from the tyranny of Oscar

We've had a teething boy on our hands for a few days.  This was one of the bright spots over the weekend.  Not to worry, he didn't eat the whole thing.  He just gummed on it long enough to cool his mouth.

Eating blueberries off the cake
I didn't realize how blue that icing was until this moment.
Face full of icing.
Face DOWN in icing
The only REAL way to eat ice cream.
The color of the orange sherbert and the blue icing is pretty crazy.
After a while, we simply had it. At this point, we let him play in the hose and he was happy. A fun day was had by all.

Bewildering Birthday

In no particular order, here is part 1 of the birthday pictures. Oscar was bewildered by the entire experience. We think he enjoyed playing in the hose the most. The video is almost embarassing because you hear cameras clicking like paparazzi in the background, and there were only 4 of us. We spent the afternoon in the backyard with Paul's Mom and my Mom. The weather was perfect.


We've all had one of these moments at a party before.
The pile of presents wasn't quite what he wanted. He was after a balloon I believe.
The cake - it's yellow, and the top is not all icing - it's filled with cake. It's just meant to look like a ton of icing. Those are blueberries all over the outside. That seemed to be his favorite part.
Checking out the new sound board.
New Rocking horse. This doesn't look like a ringing endorsement, but he seems to like it.
What is this thing on my head???
