Gabe's Birthday

Our friends Mont and Jessica's son Gabe turned 2 on Sunday, and we joined them in celebrating - along with about 12 other kids under the age of 3. There were plenty of toys and books to keep all of the kids entertained.

Gabe was actually at our house the night before the party and I took some photos of him playing with Aaron and of him playing with Aaron's block box, but I had the camera on the wrong setting and the pictures all came out horrible. (Note to self: always make sure the camera is in Auto mode before taking pictures.)

Aaron found all the kids and toys very exciting.
Did you watch that video I posted of Aaron making the "ba ba ba" sounds with his wrist? Well, he was trying to do it with his feet at the party. When he grows up, he's going to be the guy at the party with the lampshade on his head.
The party ran into nap time, but he did very well considering.

At one point, Aaron was sitting on the floor and there was a toy that another little boy (about 3 years old) had been playing with. Aaron picked it up, and with his other hand, he pulled on the little boy's shirt and tried to offer the toy back. I was so impressed with him for doing that at 14 months! The little boy, though, didn't appreciate Aaron's kindness. He was a little annoyed that some baby was pulling on his shirt.

We knew most of the other kids and hadn't seen some of them in awhile, so it was a treat to catch up with so many of our friends and their kids at once. And it was great seeing them try to interact. There was mostly a lot of taking toys away from each other.
