Birthday Week

Chance's birthday week started off a little differently than I had planned.  Over the weekend he developed a rash, so we had a doctor's appointment first thing Monday morning (everything was fine....just a viral infection).  So, our first outing, while not so fun, ended with a lunch date with John!  Chance had his first Happy Meal and he absolutely loved it. 

Tuesday we enjoyed a lazy day at home.  Chance and I stayed in our pjs, played, ate, napped, and had a nice relaxing day!

Wednesday was a gloomy, rainy day, so we loaded up and went to the Science museum.  We stayed for a couple of hours, looked at the live animal exhibit, played in the kids' discovery area, and ate lunch there.  Chance loved watching all the other kids there as much as he did playing!

Thursday was the big day!  We started his birthday off with a special breakfast at my favorite place... Dunkin Donuts!  Chance had his first bites of donut and (surprise surprise) he loved them. 

John came home from work early and we opened presents, ate cupcakes, and then had a family dinner.

We gave him bath toys for his birthday, fed him an extra messy dinner, and then let him play, and play, and play in the tub.  It was a perfect ending to a great birthday! 

Friday was a good mix of play and errands.  We went to our favorite park in the morning and then stopped by the grocery store on the way  home.  After lunch and nap time, we drove over to Target for a few other things.  Chance loves riding in the shopping cart.  He really loved it this time because we shared a box of animal crackers while we shopped. 

I can't believe my boy is ONE!! We had a wonderful birthday week!
