Happy Birthday Baby

Today is this sweet guy's birthday.

What a cutie-pie. 

We went to bed pretty late last night, catching up on some Grey's Anatomy with Katie & Nick. 

The boys aren't too fond of our show selections, but they deal with it.

At the stroke of midnight my guy got some smoochin'!! 

I tease him all the time about being so old. 

He's a little sad that his 20's are more than half-way over. 

I have to remind him that not that many 26 year olds know what they want in life, or even have the ambition to pursue their dreams like Tyler does. He has a game plan which I love!

Plus. 26, married and expecting your first child. Not too shabby!

We had a doctors appointment for baby this morning at 8:15 so I was up at 6 making my darling some breakfast in bed. 

He claims he couldn't sleep after I got up, but his eyes told a different story when I came to deliver the waffles, and warm crescents I made. With his favorite: chocolate milk.

I asked him once what his favorite birthday present was, and he says that mom once kept replenishing the chocolate milk in the fridge. So he never ran out. 

We were really tired at the appointment and I had convinced tyler to go shopping for some new clothes. (What he desperately needs).. 

This is what I kept getting instead 

Yawn after Yawn..

That'll teach me to not take him shopping so early. 

I made a cake yesterday and this cute little thing I spotted online..
