Austin's 3rd Birthday

Yesterday was Austin's 3rd birthday. It was so much fun. He was thrilled about every little thing we did. From having chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, to riding on the horse by the shopping carts at Walmart, to eating cake. His face had a permanent smile all day.
I had the goal of making a Diego cake, but after talking to a friend, I realized that I didn't have all the supplies. Austin was satisfied with a dot cake in the Diego mold. I'll have to give the frosting a try next time.

Austin talked about licking the beater for 3 days prior to us making the cake.

Austin had to follow the clues to find his birthday present. It was a new bike.
Talan watching Austin ride his new bike. The pads worked well for crawling around. He has been taking a few steps on his own, but isn't super comfortable yet. He gets really excited when he does walk.
The big man on his new bike. He picked up on how to ride so quick, we were pleasantly surprised (especially bc I am on my own for the rest of the week to take him out)!

I love that 3 year olds are easy to please! I think it is funny that he had so much fun on the horse at Walmart. I know Bo would be just as thrilled. Have fun riding bikes.
