Present time!

When Grandma and Grandpa were here in late September they decided to buy Cael his birthday gifts so that Ryan and I wouldn't have to haul everything back with us on the plane. We decided to open the presents this morning so we would have the opportunity to watch him play with all of his new toys before we leave for Omaha. They bought him a soft Tonka truck, a wind up toy for the bathtub and a phone that talks, sings and counts numbers. He couldn't have cared less about the toys, but was more interested in the paper and the plant that we have in the room. He did like the wind up toy that he got for the bathtub and didn't want to take time to open the other gifts as he was content just to play with it. We sang him happy birthday (once again couldn't have cared less) and then we commenced with opening presents. Ryan and I were there to assist because if Cael was left to his own devices it would have taken him a week just to get all of the paper off. This year he definitely didn't understand the concept, but that is sure to change over time. Either way, thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Zikas. We can't wait to see you in less than a week to celebrate the fact that our baby boy is turning one!!!
