Happy Be-lated Birthday Caleb!!!

Look at who is TWO!

Not yet one day old (new), Caleb is getting kisses from Derek, so sweet.

This is the next day, Uncle Derek and Auntie Sara came to meet Caleb, and of course provided us with beautiful pictures of Caleb :) Many thanks :)

Teehehehe, he has such a cute nose, and ours are HUGE!!! :D:D:D:D

This picture is from the next year when Caleb turned ONE!

Unfortunately Derek fell and broke his collar bone just a day? days? before Caleb's birthday. So his party was delayed and then I was too busy and never managed to post any pictures :( We will now attempt to make up for that ;)
Derek was such a tough little nut he never cried after the first day, adjusted his playing to compensate, and was mostly his usual self while definately in pain. Here he posed with Caleb's banana cream Birthday cake!

Here is the ONE year old birthday boy HIMSELF! Wait, what is this, no smiles.....?

"Y'all call this singing?!?"

Yup, all Grandparents and Parents were there but apparently no two people could sing in harmony!! ;p Hahaha, poor Caleb :D:D:D He was really concerned :D:D

But cake makes everything alllll better :D Mastering the spoon technique...

Abandoning it in favor of the fingers-and-whole-hand-if-necessary technique....

Grandpa stepped in with a little help and guidance :D:D:D

The climbing-on-table-to-get-face-closer-to-cake technique being expertly demonstrated by Caleb, with helpful tugs of redirection from Grandpa :D

"So I am ONE now and they got me a rocking horse....huh."

"Heyyy! This thing is alright, pretty fun! :)"

WHOOPEE!!!!!!
"TEEHEHEHEHE! This is so fun my diaper is wet and I DON'T CARE! :D:D:D:D:D"
