Silas birthday weekend

We had a lot of fun on Saturday. Grandparents, Great Grandmother, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins were here to help celebrate.

This morning we got a good picture of Great Grandma Mac, Nana, Popo and the birthday boy (with Mom's phone)
Painting with Aunt Jennifer last night. He loved that!

reading with Aunt Jennifer. It was a pop-up book about the alphabet. They had so much fun together.

reading with Aunt Jennifer & Cousin Ashley. Silas just discovered this booster chair this weekend and really enjoyed it. He wanted to sit in it and be read to.

Chilling with GG and Aunt Jennifer

Silas is saying, "hand. Hand. HAND!". Apparantly he didn't want Ashley's hand on his shoulder.

The airplane GG got him.

opening presents.

Aunt Brooke (pronounced BROOOOK), Cousin Logan & Esther (Bethany & Jeff's daughter) Eensy Weensy spider game with Bethany. Great Grandma Mac got Silas a birthday card that sang, "Eensy Weensy spider". It was the hit of the day. He played with that card ALL day.

cheesing for the cake. Notice who is on the outside looking in the window.

Esther and Jennifer

playing outside with Cousin Ashley.

rubbing noses with Auntie Liz (aka Auntie Favorite). Silas's pronunciation for Abby and Auntie sound remarkably similar. So Liz said just call me favorite. He said "favorite?". She said yes. So that is what we refer to her as now.

peaking through the slide. Just this weekend he has figured out how to climb up it all by himself and then he slides down. He doesn't always stick the landing, but goes head over feet. It is pretty funny to watch. If only it wasn't so cold outside this weekend.

Styling Liz's hair

reading "Confessions of a Shopaholic". notice it is upside down and backwards.

Silas is currently teething a molar (top right). It has been miserable for all involved. Poor little guy just chews and chews on his hand. We are currently living on benedryl and tylenol. The new word of the day is "NO. MINE". His vocabulary is getting larger and larger by the minute. He said, "I like it". I think that is his first complete sentence. He is getting to be so much fun!!!
