Early Birthday with Great Grandparents

Art and Jeanne came over today to meet Ethan and wish Emerson an early birthday. After Emerson blew out the candle I think it clicked for him: "birthday cake" he told me. "Happy birthday to you." (in his mind "you" always means Emerson)

He enjoyed the few bites of carrot cake I gave him and demanded more "cream" (frosting).

Even more than the cake, Emerson enjoyed basking in the attention from his great grandparents as he hit a ball with a bat and brought them each plates with cheese and crackers; they admired Ethan plenty as well, notably his chunky thighs and easy smile.
