Caleb's birthday

Upon waking up this morning I announced "Happy Birthday Caleb!"
He said "Tank you!", in a sweet sing song voice.
Derek sat up in bed and said "Happy Birthday Caleb!"
He replied "Tank you, Der-ek!".
Then asked "Have, party?",
I said "Yes, with Mimi and Grampa!"
Caleb queried "Have, cake?"
"Yes" I said,
"Very yummy!?" He asked excitedly with anticipation :D
Tehehehe, it still makes me smile.
His sweet little "Tank You!" was repeated several times in the day when his Grandparents called to wish him a happy b-day it was sooooo cute!

Caleb is TWO this year!

This sweetie is grinning, not because he WILL get cake but because unlike last year, he has not only attempted, but succeeded in getting his face in it!!!
(please note the little mouth indent directly below his chin)
We can assume he approves of the flavor :)
It was quite hilarious, Derek helpfully blew out the candles before we got to sing, so we re-lit them, sang (once again out of harmony, but Caleb discreetly held a poker face, with the faintest hint of a pleased smile ;D), Derek promptly blew out one candle, and with much puffing, Caleb got the other one. Then I turned around to get the plates and knife, and looked back in time to see Caleb with his mouth chomped onto the edge of his cake!! We all hooted with "wait Caleb's!" and laughter so he relinquished his bite :D:D:D Guess which piece Caleb got? :D:D

Silly grins and closed eyes! YUM!
Caleb got a ladybug balloon for his b-day and it was well loved, although Dad suspected it was following him around the house at face level, just to drive him crazy :D
We all finished our cake, including the "seconds", and went on to do other things, but Caleb stayed at the counter for a long time finishing off all the cake within range, regardless of who it belonged too! My word can this little one EAT! :D:D
A good time was had by all :)
