Josh's First Birthday

OK before we get onto this birthday thing there were a few other photos on my camera that I thought I'd put up as well.  These were from the baseball the other night.  No not the night that I've already put photos up of, about a week after that we went to the baseball again.   This time Andy was able to come with us and we met up with a whole crowd from his work.  Again Lexie and Josh had a great time.  They actaully made it right to the end of the game, though the last half hour they started fading a bit.

 Josh had a great time practicing his stair climbing up the bleachers and his walking along the rows of chairs whilst Lexie was just a regular social butterfly catching up with all her old friends...

Now onto the birthday boy.  The poor little thing was sick yesterday but thankfully he seemed a little better this morning.  Since Andy had to get up and go to work early we postponed the cake and gift giving till he got home so the morning was just spent relaxing and recuperating - and playing with baloons.

That gave me the day to work on the cake as well.  Of course Miss Lexie had to help.....help to eat all the icing and M&M's that is....

Here's the final result!

Once Andy got home and Grandma and Grandpa got onto Skype we lit the candles and Josh attempted to blow them out - The chances of being able to do that with Lexie around.......maybe not quite nil but close to it.  Lexies very good at blowing out candles - maybe a bit too good when its not her birthday Josh barely got a chance to attempt it himself.  But he did get a go after about take 4...

No one really seemed interested in eating the cake mind you - the lollies on top sure - cake nahhh thats boring.

Then it was onto present opening.  Again Lexie was very enthusiastic about helping to open the presents- much more that Josh was - he just wanted to play with his presents - Lexie wanted to move on and open all the unopened ones!

  

But at least we can definitely say that Josh had a good day.  He really seemed to enjoying himself and all his presents so I call it a success.

Finally a bit of a video of Josh on his big day.
