Today began the Birthday Cupcake tradition for
Braxton Cooper. Evan and I went in to wake him (crazy I know), with cupcake in hand...

Half asleep
Braxton gets up to receive his Birthday Cupcake! (notice the
USF t-shirt filling in as pajama top and Elmo in the corner watching...Elmo HAS to be sitting UP in the corner before all naps and bedtime)

Then
Braxton gets a clean diaper and his new Elmo outfit and we're outta here to enjoy the morning treat!

With a choral Happy Birthday To You...
Braxton enjoys being the center of attention.

And he really enjoys digging in! (he wanted his shirt off so he wouldn't get it dirty...it's a Fleming thing) Look at that PURE enjoyment...and little red evidence of his first taste.

And more...

And more...till he's all done! It sure looks like he enjoyed his Birthday Cupcake!

After
Braxton's special breakfast
Kaley arrived (because it is a
homeschool morning) with the perfect birthday present in hand. Of course, everyone gathers around to help him unwrap it.

"Hey, I got an Elmo phone. Hello. Hello!"
Kaley you're the best. THANK YOU
KALEY!!! Love my new Elmo phone.
