Happy (Belated) Birthday Nana!

Phineas would like to wish Nana (his great-Nana, because she is a great Nana, making myself laugh with my own puns...) a very happy 91st birthday!  He wishes he could have been there to share some cake with you. We apologize for the late wishes, but it has been quite the crazy week.  He misses you lots and was so happy to take pictures for you!

Funny story to go with the pictures - We haven't had a family birthday in a while.  Before, we used to give him a sign saying, "Happy Birthday" to the person.  However, this proved more difficult now as he is very attracted to paper and to eating it.  

Here are some pictures from when I finally got the paper far enough away that he wasn't reaching for it.  He is enjoying some of the books that Nana has gotten for him in the past.

 I tried laying him on his stomach, but unfortunately he was able to reach the sign...

And there it goes, back in the mouth again.  That was the end of our sign...

He likes the little farmer that is in the book.

 Because he felt bad that this was posted a couple of days late for Nana's birthday, he decided to give her a present of doing something totally new!  He started pushing up on his knees and holding himself in the crawling position!!  He did move himself forward but only by kind of launching himself towards his desired goal.  It worked though and is the first time he's done this and found a way to get himself to go forwards instead of backwards.  Maybe crawling is in our near future...  Good job Phin!
