Since Shae's birthday was so close to Leo's due date, I tried to plan for it ahead of time. Several weeks before the special day, early in the morning, Teddy made a card for his dad. As soon as Shae walked in the door that evening, Teddy said, "I made you a birthday card. And mommy is making you a hawkeye cake." I don't think I even told him about the cake, but I had been looking on line for ideas of how to make a Hawkeye cake. Lesson- don't tell Teddy any of your secrets!
So the night before Shae's birthday I started making the cake. Part way through decorating it, the lights started flickering and then we lost all power! It stayed off for hours so I had to finish decorating by flashlight. Not too bad considering:
Shae getting ready to make a wish in the morning with his birthday cupcake:
I had my follow up appointment with my doctor that morning, so Shae stayed home and "worked" from home. My mom took Teddy to Build-a-Bear. It is a tradition she has done with all of her grandkids. When Teddy came home he was so proud to show me his new bear. He picked him out, helped make him, and even named him- all by himself. Meet Teddy's new bear... his name is "Loverboy."
Napping with his new friend:
I can thank my mom for this name. She recently started calling Teddy "Loverboy" because he is so affectionate!
For Shae's birthday supper we went to Provinos. Both Teddy and Leo were excellent!
We brought bottles I had pumped incase Leo got hungry....
but he slept through supper. He finally woke up at home and Grandma got to give him a bottle:
Happy boy and happy Grandma:

Teddy then insisted on a picture with Grandma and Grandpa:

Teddy gave Shae his presents:
Happy happy birthday Shae! We are so blessed to have you and we hope to celebrate many many years together with you!
