Fat Head









With those balloons. They are still hanging around from the party. He loves balloons.

24 lbs 4 oz (~75%)
31.5" (~90%)
head was 95% but can't remember the inches

Looks like Lennox is thinning out even though he is NOT WALKING yet. He has a big head but that's ok, I do too. At least he's back on the growth curve. At one point it looked like his head circumference was going to blast off the charts. I hope there is a big brain in there!

More Birthday Pictures

Lennox appreciates all of his gifts, even if his face doesn't show it!



Giving Kinsley a goodbye hug (and maybe an apology for jerking her out of his car?)

Jenson likes the party food!








Lennox is obsessed with balloons. He is still playing with the balloons (or balls as he calls them) from the party.



The Birthday BOY!

Party Time




How cute


See that snaggle tooth!?



For ME again?!


I love being the center of attention!


Happy Birthday Boy!


So the party was Sunday afternoon and I swear I almost worked myself to death. I didn't have a clue how much work goes into parties. I think next year we'll just write someone a check! I think it turned out great though. Of course, as is with all summer birthday parties planned for the outdoors, a thunderstorm started rolling in about 15 minutes before the party started. I was getting really nervous because my house is NOT big enough for all of the kids that were there. Luckily, the rain didn't come down until the party was almost over. PERFECTO! I think Lennox had a good time. He ate his 3rd cup cake. The cake was so cute and matched his outfit perfectly. Thanks for Joni for ordering the cake and making sure it turned out just right. She has the hook up at the bakery!
Gotta run but more pictures of the party to come soon....

Cake Balls

In their home made holder, supposed to look like a cup cake

The plain old cake balls



I am posting this because I was so proud of myself for being very M. S. (that might stand for Martha Stewart or for Melanie Spring). I made cake balls and cake pops. My friend Mel told me I should make the cupcake cake pops like Bakerella and I laughed. I thought that was way out of my league, being that I'm an amateur at making cake balls. I felt inspired on Friday and decided to try making them for the party favors. I think they turned out pretty cute. They weren't perfect but it's my first try.

The Actual Birthday

Still drooling... since he only has 3 teeth, this will probably last a while

See my cute birthday outfit?! Jay refers to it as a dress!



See how smart he is... he's holding up #1. Or not.


The fam


Lennox and Granny


Oooo





So good.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to... especially if you take away my cupcake


Is it Gone Gone?


What's in here?





I love this car and I will drag you out of it if you try to get in (Reagan & Kinsley know this first hand)




We had a few cupcakes for the family on Lennox's actual birthday. He, once again, thoroughly enjoyed his cupcake. Several of people give me a hard time that I am picky about what Lennox eats. You will all be happy to know that he ate his entire cupcake made with real sugar. He pretty much sucked the icing right off the top. It was pretty funny because he just held it to his mouth and wouldn't put it down. He laughed and giggled all the while the cupcake was stuck to his face.
