Hema's Birthday Festivities!!!

Hema had a great birthday! He pretty much reminds us every day that now he is big because he is 4. We took him to his 4 year old check up and he was nearly 45" tall (95th %) and 38 lbs (70th %). He was also very happy to find out that there were no shots at age 4.

Here he is with a doughnut (no cake) on his birthday.

He wanted to open his presents first thing in the morning.

He is suddenly loving anything Batman. He got these 2 Batman toys and the video game Batman Legos.

For his birthday dinner he wanted "squid" from the "grapies place." We luckily were able to figure out that he meant calamari from Olive Garden (they do have grapes on the sign). Hema is definitely not a mac and cheese kind of kid!

We had his party on Saturday August 15th at backyard Adventures. It was so much fun and lots of the family from both the Katoa and Hawkins sides were able to be there.

He decided the day before his party that he wanted a Batman cake. Luckily I found these little pictures to put on it!

Aunt Jessica was still in town from Virginia and she helped Vela bounce and bounce. It was Jessica's birthday and we were glad that she was able to come celebrate with us. We sure wish they lived closer, we had so much fun with Jess, Sterling and baby Sterling!

It is always nice to be with family!

The highlight of the party was watching both sets of grandparents climb up the inflatables and go down the big slides!! They are all so young at heart!
