Eating All By Herself...

October/November is pretty much the height of activity in the Naumann household.  We have three birthdays and Halloween!!  This is the first of many posts over that 4 week period... enjoy!

Now that Alyssa is 1 year old, we figured it was time for her to start using the spoon by herself.  Here's the end result!

This is great!


Turns out yogurt is good for more than eating!


You say Joshua was able to use a spoon by this age?


Care to come a little closer and say that again?!

The Morning After...

While everyone was recovering from the previous day's festivities, we were up early opening the rest of those presents!  Here are some pictures of Joshua opening his remaining gifts...

What a way to start the day... with a NEW CAR!!

Birthday Presents for Alyssa!

Happy Birthday to Alyssa!

Princess Alyssa was able to enjoy her cake atop her throne.  She was definitely happier before she got a hold of that cake!  I guess she doesn't have much of a sweet tooth!

Alyssa's princess cake...


Joshua's truck cake...


Alyssa's personal cake...


Those cakes were AWESOME!!  Thanks Uncle Andy and Jenn!!


Eagerly anticipating some cake!!


This is going to be great!


Ohh... pretty light!


What am I supposed to do with this?!


Thanks, big brother!


Alright, this is the moment I've been waiting for!


Hmmm...


You've got to be kidding me!!


If you think you're getting another smile out of me...


Bring out the avocados!!


Well, maybe this can be salvaged if I just make a mess...


That makes me feel a little better...


How about some milk!

One final adjustment...


Perfect!
