Silas' 2nd Birthday

I'm a bit behind on the other photos, but I wanted to blog his birthday photos today.

It was a dinosaur-themed 2nd birthday for Silas.

Silas is completely fascinated with rubbish trucks.  Since it happened to be rubbish day on his birthday, we hopped in the car and drove SJ around the neighbourhood so he could watch the bins being lifted and dumped.

 There's the truck.

Picking up the rubbish bin.

Then it was time to see how tall he was 97cm (38 in / 3ft-2in)

After dinner at Red Lobster, we had AWESOME chocolate cake and mint ice cream.

No Silas, don't touch the candles.  Blow them out!

Well done.

Don't eat the cake yet! (Notice a new shirt was required for the rest of the night as Silas managed to wear a lot of  frosting.)

"Sorry Papa, no time to smile.  I'm too busy devouring."

We tried some silly string, but Silas was not impressed.

PRESENTS!

It was such a wonderful day.  He didn't get to bed until 9 pm!

Happy Birthday Silas

Crocodile Dundee

Right next to the Sydney Aquarium is a wax museum. Silas slept through most of it, but he woke up in time for this crocodile.



Don't worry, this croc is perfectly safe.

But perhaps it is a bad idea to teach Silas he can ride on one!

Here is Dundee in the background.  Silas just sticks out his tongue at him.

 

Sydney Aquarium

We took Silas to the Sydney Aquarium.


I think he likes the fish.

I don't think you could have paid me enough money to do this type of thing before Silas came along!

I love seeing mum teaching Silas.  How beautiful.

Happy day at the aquarium.  Silas.... smile!

 

Walking With Silas on Rubbish Bin Day

We take Silas for walks right after the rubbish has been collected because he loves to play with bins.

Growing TOOO Fast

A few days after Silas was born, I blogged this photo under the title "Room To Grow."



Just under two years later, I'm worried about getting a new bed!!!
Silas, you are growing up WAY too fast.

 

In the Cabinet

Are you able to spot Silas?
 

All the crashing of items out of the cabinet were our clue...

Enough!

Perhaps we've reached a point where Silas is no longer allowed in the front seat!!!
 

Guitars

Silas just loves guitars. He found this one in an op-shop.
It doesn't work, but that doesn't matter. It's still a prize possession.
 

Bubbles

Just having some fun with a bubble machine.


I don't think Silas knows what to think.

How much fun.

Boy in a bubble.

 

Papa's New Guitar

Silas and Momma bought Papa a new guitar for his birthday



Silas.... do you want to play the guitar?

Nope... I just want to play with the guitar case.

Now THIS is fun!

 

Silas' Uke

For Eden's birthday (Yes, I'm still blogging July) Silas got a Uke.


He just loves it.

He even gives himself applause after each song.

He sings along too (or is that a yawn?).

Sometimes he sings the blues.

Silas and his Uke are inseparable.

What are you doing Silas?

I think he is pretending it is a cello.

 

Silas on His Zebra

Silas got a "ride on" zebra.


It took quite a while to get him to even sit on it.

The dials are cool!

He was easily distracted.

He's not the least bit interested in moving from this spot.
I suspect that will change soon and we'll have a little Speedy Gonzales on our hands.

 

Oma's Visit

This post shows how far behind I am on the blog. Here's Oma visiting in JUNE!


Hey, a photo with everyone smiling and looking at the camera.
