Paint Party!

Before and After:

dressed in an old, stained onesie

cuteness!

devilish look in the blue eyes . . . 

Here's where I think, "Wow, he figured out what to do!  He's a genius!"

This is right after he sticks the paint brush in his mouth, and I remember (while he may be a genius) . . .  

. . . that THIS is my child.

Going to wash off 

Getting Tired

What da?

Hey Baby (June)

Hey Baby, 

Wanna come chill at my crib? 

Birthday Cake + TOMS (June)

After we got back, we tried the birthday cake again.  

He wasn't super impressed but ate a little bit.

 It was fun to play with at least. 

And, we tried on our new shoes!  They're a little big right now but will be perfect for fall/spring!

Summertime

Vegas BABY! (June)

Trey's lifetime Vegas adventure check list:

Poolside flirting in style . . . check

Seeing the dolphins and white tigers . . . check

Falling asleep in a casino . . . check

Eating fancy food . . . check

Sleeping in a bathroom. . . check (this is where we put his crib, but it still counts)

Looking at the Fish

With our New Elmo!

What in the world . . . 

Checking on T about an hour after I put him to bed . . . and, he's still up playing.
"There ain't no bedtime in Vegas, Mama!" - Trey

On the way home from Vegas . . . yeah, that looks about right!

Trey's Birthday (June)

For Trey's First Birthday, we had a crawfish boil!   

Trey (aka the Blur)

Meeting his Dinner

Meeting the Crawfish

 Those Cheeks!

Poor Hank the Puppy

 

The dogs thought it was about to get real.

What ARE those things?! 

Really?

We gave Trey one (minus the claws) to play with . . . 

 Poor little crawfish! 

A terrible way to die: being shaken, banged on rocks, and dragged though the dirt by a toddler (worse than being boiled?)

Cutie Pie!

 Trey's Guests (all a little taller than him):

The dogs have all the best toys!

Photos with Mama and Daddy

awwwwwwwwwww

 And now . . .

Birthday Cake (aka the Worst Thing Ever)

To sum it up:

We wanted to classic "baby digs into the birthday cake and shoves it all over his face, smiling, etc." shot.   

THIS is what we got instead:

"OMG WHAT WAS THAT?!" - Trey

Why?

Trey grabbed the candle . . . yes, grabbed the candle. 

 Everyone gasped, and this (we think) scared Trey because he balled up his hands and started screaming.  Everyone else was laughing, but I thought he'd burned himself, so I was crying.  And, Trey was crying (so, of course, Hank the Puppy was crying louder than anyone)!  We finally got him out and his (not burned) hands un-clenched, but he was pretty much done with birthday cake . . . 

Ladies and Gentlemen, the 2012 worst parent award winners!

Frosting?

NO WAY, Jose

  Attempt #2  - Being a little more careful . . . .

Maybe . . . 

A little smile . . . 

Seriously.
 (I have his arm from behind)

"OMG!  NO! NO! NO! Not the frosting again!" - Trey
P.S. What child likes frosting?!

Gross

 Opening Presents (not scary):

New hat!

Ok, this book is a little scary to me, but T loves it!

The Three Little Javelinas . . . very cute and very Arizona!
