Happy Birthday, Ava!!

We went to my cousin's daughter's first birthday celebration this afternoon.  She is adorable and hosted quite a party.  Waverly loves a good birthday party, so she had a blast with the party hats, balloons, birthday cake, and singing "Happy Birthday" to Ava.  Oliver slept through most of it, but was able to come in for cake - his favorite part.  He was so happy and personable, running around the room getting people to hug each other (Yes.  He actually grabs 2 people and forces them to hug.  He is my little peace maker.)  Here are a few photos from our afternoon.

Like any event with our kids something always happens to remind you that life is a little different with Sanfilippo.  Both kids had horrendous blowouts.  Fortunately, I am always prepared with extras for Waverly.  However, Oliver hardly ever needs a change of clothes and I neglected to bring any along.   There were no kids around his size, so my cousin's husband gave Oliver one of his thermal tees.  He was quite a sight in a way-too-big tee, with sleeves rolled up and looking like a tent dress and his sneakers.  He could care less and went running around the party as if nothing happened.  That's my boy!
