Happy Birthday Ikaika!

Happy, happy birthday Kaika dear,
Happy days will come to you all year.
If I had a wish then it would be,
A happy, happy birthday to you from me.

I was so excited for this day. I wanted it to be happy for Ikaika. So, I sang to him every time I could. He would give his cute little cheesy smile with his shoulders raised and hands under his chin in a giddy sort of way. I made sure there were balloons in the house as soon as we could (thanks Aunty Celeste : ) And I think it was a success because when my mom asked him how he liked his birthday he said, "I want to have another birthday."
We kept it pretty simple with just a family dinner. We enjoyed watching him open his presents and blowing out his candles on his cake. I decided rather than have a big party with lots of people Ikaika really didn't care about (no offense to anyone), we'd just use the money to take him somewhere fun. Future post for that. . .
I love my Ikaika and am so happy he is a part of our family.

Here are the pics:

He's so cute, and so big! Where does the time go? It makes me smile that he loves grandma so much. What a lucky boy!
