Buddy's Birthday Party!

The Invitation


The Party

He just keeps rolling

More rolling...

Rollie Pollie Boy

Seriously, every time I've laid him flat today he's immediately rolled over. But then he's stuck on his stomach. He's rolled tummy to back, but it must be harder for him.

Buddy turns 4

Grandma M got Buddy this great Bob the Builder
cake to help celebrate his birthday in St. Louis last weekend.

Blowing out four candles.

Opening presents on his actual birthday at home.
This Lego set is from Grandma and Grandpa L.

A fireman raincoat from Princess Sparkley.

A brownie baseball cake.
He wanted a baseball stadium with little people in it.

Bad lighting.

And my camera battery died, so this is the best you get.

Baby X rolls

It's official. Baby X can roll over. He rolled from stomach to back last week. I figured it must have been accidental. He was on his tummy getting frustrated, sort of dropped to his side and wiggled until he was on his back. I figured it was a fluke and put him back on his tummy. He immediately did it again.

Same thing happened this weekend at Grandma's in St. Louis, only from back to tummy. He's been so close. He's been up on his side, about a milimeter from flipping over to his tummy and he gets worn out. So we were watching him, cheering him on a bit and he was so close and then he stopped to rest. I left the room and immediately heard B cheering for him. He'd done it. So we flipped him over and made him do it again. He did it again. He loves it but I'm not sure he really gets what he's doing and how he does it. He just can and does.

Tummy Time

Baby X has always done a pretty good job holding his head up, but I think this is the best he's done on his tummy... so we can see his face and he's not just looking at the ground. I couldn't pick just one. I'm his mom. They are all adorable pictures of the cutest baby in the world.

Buddy as President Monson

Since General Conference, Buddy and Princess Sparkley have been playing General Conference... mostly Buddy's choice. He always wants to be President Monson. It was hilarious at first because every once in awhile he'd say, “what's our new prophet's name again? Oh yeah.”

B walked into the living room today and Buddy was standing behind a chair (his podium) saying the following:

“Welcome to General Conference, it's going to be kind of long.” Then Buddy explained that this is General Conference and he's President Monson. Then he continued saying, “This lesson is going to be kind of long. That's what makes General Conference General Conference.”

Buddy's giant feet

Buddy's feet already seemed huge to us, then they end up next to baby feet and they seem even bigger.

Princess Baby X

Princess Sparkley has taken to dressing up Baby X when she's supposed to be entertaining him so he won't cry. Poor kid.

RIP

This is... was Ice Cream Alice the Second. She developed Columnaris and passed away last night.


Here they are together... St. Louis Race Car Macaroni and Cheese, and Ice Cream Alice #2.

Buddy's fish hung on for an entire week and a half. Princess Sparkley's first fish lived one day with us. Her second fish lasted three whole days. At their funeral tonight they each said a few things. Buddy said he liked his fish because sometimes it looked at him. Princess Sparkley said she liked Ice Cream Alice #2 because it lived longer than #1. Poor kids. We went out today after #2 died and bought a bunch of medicinal water drops, etc. to try to save Buddy's fish. What now?
