Lego Birthday Party

Can you believe this guy is six?!?  SIX?!?  How in the world did that happen?  I knew exactly what kind of party this Lego-loving, super hero obsessed guy needed.  Daddy designed a "Noah Captain America Minifig".  Isn't is the cutest?  Complete with glasses and BAHA.

He then created the cutest invitations.

We had lots of cute decorations.  Balloon wreaths,

balloons lining our front entry,

the most adorable Lego printables that I found here,

and a happy birthday banner found here.

I ordered some adorable silicone molds and made some chocolate bricks

that I put on top of the cupcakes.

I made PB&J sandwiches 

and pizza slices that looked like bricks.

When the party started, the boys each got to create their own ninja minifig.  They were so proud of their creations.

Then they played "pin the head on the minifig" which I found here.  

We played some relay games with bricks on spoons,

which were apparently exhausting,

and then tried to build the" tallest tower of bricks ever".  This quickly morphed into "just build whatever you want" time.

Next it was time for snacks and cupcakes.

Noah loved when everyone sang to him and he got to blow out the candle.

Before going home, each boy got a Master Builder certificate,

and a brick treat bag which included brick candies, a super hero minifig, and

adorable minifig crayons that I made using a silicone mold.

It was a fantastic party with some great friends.  Noah had so much fun!  

Nine Months - Ava

This bundle of energy is nine months old.  My Little Miss has some major developments this past month. She has mastered the art of pulling herself up on furniture and squatting down to pick up toys.  She is cruising all around and can go from coffee table to sofa to chair to other chair and make her way all around our living room.  She is finally crawling and has her first two teeth (bottom right tooth and upper left tooth).  She can say, "Mama", and truly touches my heart every time I hear it.

Ava has recently learned the fun "Uh-Oh!" game.  She takes such delight in dropping items on the floor and announcing, "Uh-Oh!".  She then expects you to pick the item up so she can do it again.  Such a fun game!

Ava continues to be an opinionated eater and prefers to feed herself.  She LOVES most vegetables along with pasta and rice.  She eats meat and any type of cereal/puff but continues to take a very dim view towards fruit of any kind.  

Ava's current stats are:

Weight:  20 pounds 15 ounces

Height:  28 inches
