Baby Boy Behaving Badly!

My Mischievous Munchkin!

                                  That face has trouble written all over it!!

 This is his official pouty face! Those little lips poke out, and while he is in fact, whinning or crying, I can't help but steal a kiss!

A Very Merry Un-Birthday!

My UN-Happy Birthday!!

A pretty miserable day for all of us! Poor Gager wasn't loving his molar that's coming in, which was giving him some pretty nasty little fevers too!  I tried so desperately to get happy photos, and now, it's just funny to me and I wish I would have gotten more of the sad faces, as they were a PLENTY! 

To start us off, we made Gage my family's famous birthday breakfast: Flapjacks with ice cream (not in bed, since I'm not sure how that works exactly at this age haha)!! YUM! Unfortunately, the only thing Gage was even slightly interested in was the candle.

Oh well, Ty and I enjoyed his pancakes and ice cream for him.

    

                              The candle might be interesting, but not enough to elicit a smile.

Look at his cute little flapjacks daddy made! Mommy enjoyed them!

After a bout of crying commenced, he ended up here....thank heaven!!

That evening, we attempted to do his birthday cake, which (patting myself on the back) was tasty!  I made a huge chocolate cupcake with oreos pressed into the edge and chunks of symphony bar in the middle, as well as substituting the water for chocolate pudding (amazing)!! And then the frosting was made of a very light, whipped cream cheese frosting with oreo crumbles! And then everything you see on top!  It was fabulous, I'm drooling just typing this up!  Yeah, wish Gage cared at ALL!  The only photos we got of him "eating" it, are the ones that Ty tried to stuff it in so he would maybe get a taste and change his mind....nope, but we got decent pics anyway...again, in retrospect, the truth, the crying, pouty face photos would have been funnier!

This was entertaining....momentarily.

Again, very intrigued by the candle!

And, the pouty face begins...again.

"Mom, you got to be kidding me!  All I want is the drugs."

 Hahaha, this makes me laugh so hard now; Ty kept trying and trying to get him to take a bite so I could get a photo.  Well, this looks pretty decent, however posed it may have been!

Playing with it was also momentarily entertaining.

And the tears are working their way back.

Daddy's a genius, and whips out a balloon!!

And here are his presents, at 6:30pm, and Gage is in bed SOOO not interested!!

We're having a "do-over party" in a couple weeks with his buddies which will also serve as a halloween party!  Hopefully, he'll have much more fun! 

I can't believe my baby is ONE!!!

A Day in the Life of Gage

This just makes me happy!

Fell asleep in my cheerios today;
Man, it's a hard knock life.

Separating the Men from the Tools

(Beginning of Sept.)

Gage is extremely helpful these days.  When either of us is loading the dishwasher, he crawls over and helps out by taking out all of the silverware. What a stud, because he then looks up with the proudest look on his round little beautiful face! I love it!

We got a kitchen table in September that we had to put together, which was not as fun as one might assume, except for Gage; He LOVED it! He was right in the middle screwing in the screws and frankly, he's got pretty good hand-eye coordination because he could get it right in the hole every time...of course, this means a much more lengthy job, c'est la vie!!

Just my lil' man and his cute self!

Still Catching-up

Here are some random goodies from July
