Baba's Birthday!

Shawn may forever be Baba! It's what he gets called more than Daddy right now. 

Sophie calls him that. (Baba means Dad in Mandarin.) So it makes sense that she calls him that. 

Katie calls him that to be like Sophie. (unless she "slips" which happens)

I (Deb) calls him that. (After calling him that for 2 weeks in China, it just comes out!)

Here are a few pics and stories from his birthday:

(Thanks for the pictures Matt!)

So I have a habit of using whatever box I can find for odd shaped things to fit in! Sophie thought it was a hoot that we were wrapping his new universal remote control in an empty cookie box! As he was opening it she was saying, "Con TV" (watch TV) and pretending to hold the remote and push the buttons!

THEN she really thought it was funny when we cut up 2 pages of construction paper hearts and put it in the box as confetti! The youngest ones all helped me do this! They were so excited for him to open it!

Shawn is laughing at her with her "pretend remote!

NEVER A DULL MOMENT!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHAWN!
