Birthday Boy

A certain someone officially slid over the proverbial hill today. Well, maybe it was more of a mound leading up to the big hill. Regardless, Anh was sitting on top of the mound last year at 35, but this year he turned the big 3-6 which puts him clearly on the other side. In other words, he's OLD! Just kidding, dear!

We celebrated with a nice dinner at home followed by gourmet cupcakes that were hand-selected by Jax & Baylor. Okay! Okay! Baylor wasn't really involved in the selection process, but he did offer input by pointing frantically at the wide assortment of offerings. Jax took his time, checking out all 18 flavors, and then carefully pointed to the ones he wanted to bring home to dad. Although, Jax did the declare the red one was off limits. That's the one he picked for himself.As soon as the lady behind the counter handed us the packaged cupcakes, Jax began asking for his. He ran over to the cute bistro tables in the cupcakery and prepared himself for a feast. I laughed and told him that it wouldn't be very nice of us to enjoy the birthday boy's treats without the birthday boy. Jax looked at me like I had lost my mind and said, "He's not a birthday boy! He's a birthday daddy!" Oh, right. That makes sense. Sorry.The moment Anh walked through the door, Jax started singing "happy birthday." Now, I'm sure you're thinking, "Awww! He was excited for his dad." Not so much. I mean he was happy that it was Anh's birthday, but it had more to do with the fact that birthdays involve cake & icing, and Anh's arrival meant Jax could now enjoy said cake & icing.As you can see from the look on his face, Baylor was quite excited about the cupcakes as well.He did not appreciate all the picture taking!
Finally, for the main event. The moment the boys had been waiting for...

Sugar! Sugar! And, more sugar!

Grandma, you better watch out. Jax knows you're birthday is next, and he's looking forward to it.

Is Baylor operating on the cup cake in the last picture? Or, is he the only one with manners?

Baylor refuses to eat anything without utensils now because he doesn't like getting his hands dirty. He's becoming more & more like big brother every day.
