We made these cute cookie monster cookies for him to take to his friends at school--I'm sure his teachers appreciated the blue icing! : ) The teachers allowed Jenna out of her class so she could join the party, which she loved. Here's a few pictures Jenna or Joshua's teachers took of the celebration:
We went to Atlanta to celebrate Joshua's birthday with the family. We continued the cookie monster theme and made this super-cool cake for his party. He loved it--and it tasted great too! He wanted us to sing "Happy Birthday" over and over again--we finally stopped after the 3rd or 4th time. Each time, he successfully blew out the candle. Cool kid!

| Joshua loves Cookie Monster! |
 | |
| He couldn't wait to blow out the candle--we'd been practicing! |
 |
Poppa had fun encouraging Joshua to really get into his cake! |
 |
| I think Mimi was worried Joshua was going to share his icing with her! |
 |
| Joshua loves his Mimi! |
 |
| Proud of the mess he'd made |
 |
| Jenna thought Joshua needed this umbrella, and he was so excited! |

| Auntie Mary Ann bought him this cool personalized shirt |

| So excited about all the fun! |
- Help me in the kitchen
- Watch Jenna's educational movies to learn about colors/letters/numbers/shapes/etc.
- Say hi and bye to complete strangers
- Play with his big sister (and do everything she does)
- Play guitar and sing with Daddy
- His bashful smile is so sweet
- His newly-learned words
- His laugh
- How he holds out his hand and says "hand" when he wants me to help him walk up/down the stairs or in a parking lot.
- How he helps us correct Jenna (when it rarely happens) by shaking his finger at her and saying "no!" (Jenna hates this about him!)
- How he's discovered his pockets and likes to walk around with his hands in them!
- How Jenna and Joshua love each other. What great kids we've been blessed with!
