| Waking up-he's so happy, and he doesn't even know it's his birthday |
 |
| He just loves his Daddy! |
 |
| When you're the birthday boy, Mama makes you pancakes for breakfast |
Milwaukee has a fabulous zoo, so we gave Eric an annual zoo pass for his birthday and we went that afternoon to celebrate. Eric actually looks at all the animals and is so cute to watch. I'm sure that will change once he can run around, so we're enjoying it while we can.

| Who knew an albatross was so huge? |
 |
| He is officially bigger than a baby gorilla |
 |
| He loved the fish, we had to tear him away |
 |
| Looking at the little capuchin monkeys |
 |
| One of the tigers pacing-Eric was just inches away, cool eh? |

We had a little party here with our Wisconsin friends (we missed our friends the Bagleys, they were out of town) with cupcakes and ice cream. Our little apartment was packed, but it was a great time chatting and having fun with everyone! Thanks everyone for coming and helping make it a great day!
 |
| I'm lame and didn't take pictures of all the guests, but here are our friends Kaitlin, Eliza, and Cole (Not all in the same family :) ) |
 |
| He was a little freaked out by the singing |
 |
| Our little family! |

*Tanner probably doesn't want me to write this, but I have to give him props-he's lost 20 lbs since Jan 1, doesn't he look skinny?
 |
| And he's done |

We skyped with family so they could see him eat cake too. He spent most of the time just patting all the frosting off, but it was cute to see him get so messy.
 |
| "I better try it off the tray." |
 |
| "That way I can rest my feet in it too!" |
 |
| Big Boy! |
 |
| What have I done?! |
 |
| The water turned brown from all the chocolate frosting |
Here is Eric eating his birthday cake while we skyped with family (sadly, my mom's computer wouldn't work), he only took one actual bite the whole time, the other one he took he spit back out.
This is just a cute video to show how mobile Eric is and also to show off his first word: Dada. He actually says it when he sees Tanner, and as you will hear, when I tell him to say Mama. It's automatic, "Say Mama." "Dadadadadada!!!!!" Such a cute little nutcase!
Happy Birthday little Baby!

Happy birthday Eric! I am loving all of these new posts! I don't even know where to begin.
The video of Eric eating/pounding on his cake made me so happy and sad at the same time. I miss you guys! ha ha and I just loved how he would squish his toes in the cake and hit it like it was drums.
Oh and Go Tanner on losing weight! Especially at this time of year. With all the holidays this is a pretty challenging time to lose- so that is pretty amazing.
Nina! Is that Cole Helm in that picture? I went to high school with him. I swear this world gets smaller and smaller. Hope your doing well.
P.S...I went to work on West 8 a couple of weeks ago and it was unanimous.......we miss you.
Whoa! I was just going to say the same thing as Angie - I know Cole! :) And Angie, obviously. We all went to high school together. Small world!
