Happy Birthday Daryoosh!

On Daryoosh’s first birthday, he had his first experience with the giant rat, Chuck E.  I, the one with a camera that seems to be surgically attached to my hand, ended up there without one. (Well, I had a camera, but lacked an SD card) boo.  The iPhone pictures and the silly fading photos from the chuck e. photo ride will have to do.

Yago loved singing happy birthday to Daryoosh! We all did!

Here’s a movie I edited of the boys having some fun together!

Birthday movie!

Cake anyone?

For a little guy who doesn’t really eat cake, he sure had a lot of it…

Birthday cupcakes:

Of all of these, Yago may have had one cupcake, one two-bite brownie, and one bite of cake.  I hope that he continues to have this indifference to most things sweet.  (but I am afraid that we’ll never be rid of the M&M obsession…)

In fact, on a side note, 2 of Yago’s favorite people in the world dressed up as Yago’s favorite thing in the world:

Happy Birthday Yago!

My mom bought these two cakes for Yago’s birthday.  They were too cute.  We had a great time on his actual birthday.  My cousin was visiting from California with her two daughters (Emma, 8 months older than Yago and  Ava, 4 months older than Daryoosh!)  Yago and Emma both got to blow out candles. Yago is still asking when he can play with Emma and Ava again!

Here are some more photos from their visit!

Halloween fun

Time to finally clear the decorations!

Here are some pictures from  Yago’s first trick-or-treat adventure!  Daryoosh was just along for the ride this year, in his old-school Star Trek outfit.  Yago sported his devilish costume from last year (that finally fit him perfectly this year!) My costume was a bit stretched out considering Daryoosh was also under there last year, but it worked!

Be thankful that I spared all of you the picture of the grown man dressed as the tooth fairy (pliers and all) giving out candy.  There are trick-or-treaters all over town still having nightmares about him, I’m sure (or maybe just the parents of the trick-or-treaters? ACK!)

 

Yago had a GREAT Halloween!  I truly love this age.  On Sunday morning after Halloween, Yago asked for candy for breakfast.  I insisted he have a real breakfast first.  He finished his breakfast and I let him have a roll of smarties-looking sweet tarts candy.  In my mind I was trying to find a reasonable (to a three-year-old!) way of avoiding candy with every meal after giving in to the post hallween post breakfast request.  To my surprise, never asked for another piece of candy!  In fact, it is all sitting on a shelf in our pantry (all=everything left that I haven’t eaten yet). I can’t wait until next year!!

He’ll grow out of it, I’m sure

Something tells me that this probably will not last through the teen years:

Changing seasons…

Mom, look at the leaves!  (we read a book last night about how and why leaves change colors in the fall)

Yes!  Yago–look over there!  How many colors do you see?

Red, Orange, Purple, Yellow, Green… Mom!  Look at that mountain!  But there is no volcano.

(Let me just tell you that it took almost 5 minutes of him repeating that there is no volcano for me figure out what in the world he was saying…)

All for one and one for all!

Tia Paloma is a photoshopping genius…where does she get these ideas?

Here’s the original photo:

(Yago’s friend Sienna had her first birthday and there was face painting involved.  In case you can’t tell, the goatee was self-painted but he had help with the ’stache!  He also had a rainbow on one cheek and a green star on the other!)

…oh yes, and Daryoosh is a subject of manipulation too!!
