Happy One Year Birthday Gage!

We had a small celebration with just Gage, Rob, and I on Gage’s official birthday (we had a family party while visiting in Idaho). Rob met Gage and I on his lunch hour at Betty Brinn Children’s Museum. Gage had tons of fun crawling, sliding, pushing, and playing. After the museum I took Gage home and he took a well needed nap!

Gage wanted to keep pushing this mower around, but because he can't walk without assistance, he put too much pressure on it and he would fall backwards, with the mower on top of him. No matter how many times he kept falling over, he would try again. I even tried moving out of his sight but he always was able to find it. Yes, he is persistant!

 Our adventurous little spirit soon figured out that it was more fun to crawl up the slide and then slide down backyards.

 I wanted to try and get a picture with Gage and this background, but as you can see, Gage had different plans and was unwilling to sit there and smile when he could be playing. So the birthday boy got a wish granted and the obsessed mom with the camera let this one go!

Just Like Grandpa!!
(In case you can't see, the bag says "U.S. Mail" and inside are letters he can deliver to different pretend stations at the museum)

 

Once Rob got home from work we had cupcakes & Gage opened up a few gifts that we had saved for him.

Hopefully Gage didn't get his math gene from his mom! I guess we need to work on numbers....no he is not 5, just 1 :)

 So happy and so full!!!

 And now...... so ready for bed!
