Time Flies.

This little guy is about the same age as our new grandson. We haven't been able to see him and hold him yet. We can kind of imagine how it might be if we were there.

It would be so fun to watch the little guy hold his head up. This little boy likes to know what is going on. His personality is already showing up. He is seriously checking out this old guy holding him, "Who are you?"

He prefers to be upright and not on his back. Pa can't help but cradle his little head because he is just a little infant. This boy will show you what he's made of if you let him. He wants up. His dad has got it figured out.

We were there to celebrate a birthday, his daddy's. This is the present I gave him. All from our garden.




It made a lovely centerpiece, if I don't say so myself.

Of course a fresh loaf of bread. The birthday man thought it was a good present.



You can't say "Birthday boy" with a forest fire on your cake. Only a mom would put that many candles on a cake and say BLOW!

Seriously he could have an attack. Or catch the table on fire. Where is their fire extinguisher? It made me nervous. I am getting old now, I saw danger. She had some of those candles that don't blow out, they spark. We had to take them out and put them in the sink and put water on them. I was very relieved when we didn't catch the house on fire and all the candles were out,

so was the birthday boy, he went to bed. Putting that fire out would exhaust anyone of that age. I hope that everyone forgets my birthday this year, I have 10 more candles than he does. My house would surely burn to the ground.

Happy Birthday buddy.

I love the forest fire cake. Everyone should have one. The more candles, the more cake. It works for me.

I have to wonder if the frosting melted all over the table from those candles.

What a wonderful celebration, looked the center of attention - what a cutie:-).
I agree with all the candles, seemed wise of you, to be guarded onto the possible danger. Next year, take a fire extinguisher.
