The Eating of the Cake

The last job for the day (before the bath) was to eat the cake!
Mum covered Silas with a drop cloth.


Silas was licking his lips as we sang to him.

Is it time yet!?!?!?!

Hmmm... Interesting.

Dad, I'm finding it difficult to get a handful of cake.

They won't give me a knife... what shall I do?

I've got an idea!!! I'll use my new teeth!

Yum!

This is fun!

 

 

 

Overall, a complete success!  Happy birthday Silas!!!

 

To the Lake to Feed the Ducks

Next stop was a trip to the lake to feed the ducks.
There is a nice cafe at the lake where we ate lunch.


Sometimes Silas' cheeks are too irresistible to not squeeze.

I think Silas is having fun on his birthday.

Off to feed the ducks.

I'm amazed how well Silas is throwing now.
I guess the ducks would appreciate it if the throws were a bit further out.

A nice family photo at the lake.

 

Breakfast and Pressies

Silas' birthday began with some french toast and yoghurt.


We let Silas feed himself the yoghurt.

Time for some Birthday pressies!

What's in here Silas?

 

 

Little People!

We started working on the second present,
but he quickly lost interest.

He found a wooden spoon and was much happier!

After mum explained things, he was interested again.

Yet he was more interested in the wrapping paper than the gift.  Oh well.

 

Silas' Birthday Cake

The night before Silas' big day was a late one.
We had to finish Silas' birthday cake!


Fill in the claws, gums, eyes and outline.

Give him teeth and some colour.

And here is the finished product!  Happy first birthday Silas!!!!

 

Pinball

Mom likes to give Silas pinball lessons.


Don't look at me Silas.  Keep your eye on the ball!

That's better.
Silas loves to shoot the ball and then watch mom play.

Both hands on the child mom, both hands on the child!

I'm amazed at how intense Silas' eyes get sometimes.

 

NFL

In his fancy Miles Austin jersey,
Silas begins his first NFL training.

This is a football.


No no...  we don't kiss the football.
We don't put the football in our mouth.

That's right, you grab the football.

Yes, fingers on the laces.

Are you ready for daddy to pass the ball to you?

Great catch!  He's a natural.

 

Silas' Trike

Silas got a new trike.
It's time to take it out for a test run


He looks ready.

All his toys are packed and ready to go.

Wow this is easy!  I don't even have to pedal.

Ok, this hill is a bit steep.  I'm getting nervous!!!
Time to bite my nails.

 

In the Pool

There was a nice kiddy pool at the hotel.


We wanted Silas to feel comfortable in his Baby Float.
What a life!

He LOVES the water!

He LOVES to play.

He LOVES to splash.

And Momma LOVES him!
