Birthday celebration #2

Yesterday, the 4th of July, we headed down to Tiffin for Don's parents 4th of July party. They had agreed to have cake and ice cream for Reece as well. We had a great day, and it was nice to get to visit with everyone.
Here is a picture of the cake that the rest of us got to eat...so cute.

This is the cake that Reece got to "eat"

I love all of the kids in this one. Reece is just testing it out with a little bite...

He's been doing quite well on his cake, yet he's still quite clean.

On Friday, June 3, we all went out to Aunt Judy's house. I decided to just have cake and ice cream for Reece there since we were having the same on the 4th and Don's parents. I didn't really feel up to planning a whole party for him, so this is what we did.

Here is a picture of Matt (the Godfather) and Logan (the cousin) watching the festivities!

We had just sat the cake in front of Reece. He was a little unsure at first. In fact, when his hands first got all sticky, he kept trying to shake the frosting off.

As you can see, he figured out that not only is having messy hands okay - this stuff tastes pretty good too.

This last picture just about sums it all up! He's a rockstar!

Clark Lake!

We had a great time at Clark Lake with my parents. Don and my dad were able to go fishing every morning! All three of the boys had fun and did lots of swimming. Reece loved going for boat rides and chasing Madison.

Reece and Logan hanging out on the table! Logan was a great helper all week!

Crawling in the grass.

Playing in the mud! Reece totally loved the mud. I figured, I could constantly move him and then he would get mad - OR - just let him play in it and dip him in the lake when it's time to get cleaned up!

Grandpa swimming with Reece!

Reece loved his baby pool. He just kept crawling in and out.

Birthday Fun!

Reece had a great first birthday yesterday! I still haven't found the camera cord - and if it's not found today, we're heading to Radio shack tomorrow to get one. I have some GREAT pictures from the past two days!
He loved cake and needed a big bath after it!
He also LOVED the fireworks last night! The first few booms scared him, but after that, he was smiling and clapping at them. He was even pointing at the sky! At one point, he was holding someones phone and pointing it at the sky like it was a remote. He's so smart!

Hopefully pictures will be up soon!

my first mothers day...a few months late

Reece helped make the cake by licking the bowl of cool whip.

He also got to lick the spoon!

Here he's saying "feed me" with his crazy hand!

And......the finished product! Watch out Cake Boss!

now...

if I could just find the camera cord I could upload some pictures of our trip to Clark Lake!
Plus, the big Birthday is coming up on the 4th! We're all very excited! We'll be hanging out at Aunt Judy's on Friday, and then heading to Tiffin to Don's moms 4th of July party on Saturday. She's also planning cake and ice cream for Reece!

Reece still only has his 2 bottom teeth, and not very much hair. He's crawling very quickly now, stands up at everything and walks along the furniture, but doesn't really have any interest in walking on his own yet. I'm not worried, he'll have plenty of walking years ahead of him!

We had a doctor's visit around 11 months for an ear infection and at that time, he weighed 20 pounds (and some ounces that I forgot). His 12 month appointment is on July 7.
