Birthday Month

As many of you know, August is a big month for birthdays in the Nau house. In the beginning of the month we celebrated Alex's first birthday:

First candle.


Adriane's new fun project is making candy bouquets. Both Olivia and Alex received one for their birthday. Alex quickly discovered that the bouquet = sugar. The second he saw it, he wouldn't eat anything else. We had to find hiding places where it was out of his sight (you would be amazed how many places we had to try).


As a little brother, Alex has developed the "you need the jaws of life to get this away from me" grasp. He only uses it on special toys. The Elmo phone that Olivia picked out for him is definitely one of those toys.

Grandma and Grandpa bought the coolest gift of all... a ball pit. It's been a hit!

Since Jamie is out of town this week, we celebrated Olivia's 3rd birthday on Sunday:

We had some of Olivia's favorite summer-themed foods for lunch: Hot dogs, corn, peaches and ketchup!



Olivia's candy bouquet.

Olivia wore her new blue fancy dress to open up her presents... she got some great new toys!




Lastly, Olivia had her first day of preschool last week (she is just going one day a week). Here she is with her back pack and new outfit (you can see little brother looking on behind the door):

Olivia is such a mini Adriane in that last picture! Very cute. It also amazes me that Adriane how found the time for another hobby. The candy bouquets are really fun!
