By request:
Listening to his gramma (my mom) sing the Cake Song while eating cake:
Contemplating the meaning of cake:
Hoping charm will earn him a second piece:
This is a toddler. This is a toddler on sugar:
Thanks for all the birthday wishes! And thanks also for all the comments of support. Onward, yeah?
Onward, absolutely.
Love, love, love the photos of Thumper and his cake – especially the last one! There are few things cuter than a toddler on a sugar high (and few things less appealing than a toddler on a sugar crash – oh well!)

Nothin’ better than a sweet toddler face smeared with chocolate birthday cake frosting. Happy (belated) B-day Thumper!

What cute birthday pictures! Thumper’s little cake smeared face is happymaking. 🙂 And having his Gramma sing him ‘the cake song’ is a great thing to have captured.

I love the “contemplating the meaning of cake” photo. I wonder what his conclusions were.
Happy Belated Birthday Thumper.

“Contemplating the meaning of cake” is one of the funniest photo-caption combinations I’ve seen in a while.
Thumper, the cake philosopher.

Those are great birthday pictures! I love the captions! What IS the meaning of cake? Since adulthood I’ve thought it to mean bigger hips and thighs. LOL

Some of my most memorable pictures of my daughter (now 16) are the food-smeared faces – spaghetti in one, and sour cream in another. Very cute Thumper!

Cake is of mighty importance. It begs for the kind of contemplation Thumper gave it! Happy birthday to the young man!

seemingly stupid question: how in the blazes did you teach him to use silverware without losing an eye??? (current issue with our little monkey)

The charm would totally have worked on me.

Yum! Cake! When my son was little we weren’t “allowed” to sing happy birthday. It made him very angry and he’d cry. But, you can’t have cake without the song (just wouldn’t be right), so we’d just speak it. Haven’t thought about that in years! We must have looked like crazy people.

OMG! He is so cute and a very happy belated birthday to Thumper!
I’m seriously heading down to Portland this summer (bf’s family is down there) and we are so meeting up somewhere downtown. Yep it is happening. I am really enjoying you and your family’s adventure in embracing Portland and the rainy NW.

Oh dear…so funny how much he looks like his father, when he puts on the charm look 😉

He’s just the cutest thing and I’m sure your mom loves that picture of him listening to her so intently!! BTW – per the United Nations – that sugar high doesn’t really exist (he’s just high on life) BUT it can improve the memory of us older humans!! hahaha!

these pictures are REALLY adorable. he is a very handsome little man. I want to reach through the screen and give him a squeeze. i adore my two year old (and three months) and hope/assume that you are loving it, too. every day is amazing. new joys. new laughs. new challenges (and how!). too bad, if we lived in the same town i’d invite y’all for a playdate. i really enjoy your blog, and i’m not really a very blogging type.

Oh, lol. You’re drunk!
I have a young friend; at Thumper’s age he would climb up onto the table, blinking his beautiful eyelashes at you as he cooed, “Mmmmmmm, TAKE”.

Happy birthday big boy!
I was just thinking that I hadn’t read a post from you in a very long time and went to see that DSY was missing from my bloglines! I’m glad that I found you again. Seems like the interim period I missed treated you well. Yeah for happy families and healthy gardens.
