Octonauts Birthday Party

For Killian's birthday this year he wanted an Octonauts' themed party.  When I asked who we should invite, he only wanted one friend from school, Yuvraj.  Unfortuately, Yuvraj was not able to come so we had a party with some our favorite people and no school friends.  The Dugas family, Deitra and Katelyn, Grandad, and Grandma all joined us.  Oma was sick during the morning so she wasn't able to join us.  I think this was my favorite birthday party so far.  The kids had fun and it was so comfortable because we really loved everyone that attended!

The girls helped to frost the cupcakes for his "ocean"

We always lose balloons at the highest part of our ceilings!!

For party favors, we had little beach buckets with battery operated bubble blowers.  The kids loved them during the party!

Grandma in the bounce house!  You'll notice pj boy is in his pjs!

He started opening presents in the middle of the party and was thrilled with all the playmobil!!

Time to cool off.  He must have had 4 of those jello/fish "oceans".

Love this picture!

He requested Dashi as his cake.  Daddy made the little hat.

Grandma always brings presents for the other kids too.  The girls received kites this year.  Big hit!

The Dugas' gave him a Jake and the Neverland Pirates kit.  He LOVED it!

Oma came over later and brought a set of dress up clothes - firefighter, chef, and construction worker.

Tea party in the fort!

3 year old Birthday Boy!

We love this little boy more and more.  He adds such fun to our life.  He's always ready to laugh and make you laugh.  Once he is allowed a little room to talk, he is quite talkative.  The girls often become exasperated with him controlling the conversation at dinner and in the car on the way home from school.  He loves Octonauts and Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  He also enjoys My Little Pony and The Littlest Pet Shop (he does have two older sisters....).  His face is incredibly expressive and his entire body is used to express his emotions if he is really upset or elated.  He loves, loves his sisters but they frequently get frustrated that he can't play with them they way they want to play.  his speech has definitely caught up but the pediatrician would like to see him be a little more clear so we have contacted the Early Childhood Center through FISD to get him some services. He could do everything that the pediatrician asked so developmentally, all that checked out!  The only other thing that she was concerned about was his height.  However, she said we could wait that out a little since we were tackling that issue with Keeley.

Stats:

Weight: 31.25lb (42.64%)

Height: 36.75 (33.63% - he dropped from 63% to 33%)

For his birthday dinner, he requested McAlister's and "green" ice cream (mint chocolate chip).  We ran out of time to eat out that day so we got McAlister's to go and ate at the house.

One of his birthday presents was a big boy bed.  We got the bed IKEA that can be a little bunk bed or a regular bed.  He loves it.

Keeley also got him a present (such a sweet kiddo).

Octonauts!

Such a love bug!
