Mateo's 3rd Birthday Party

Here are a few snapshots (and one video) of Mateo's birthday party at the Sunnyside Playground.

Pizza time!

And cupcakes with windmills and daisies on them (Mateo's request).

Pin the Stinger on the Scorpion (again, Mateo's special request)

Comparing the goodies in their party favor bags

Opening presents. Mateo thought this handmade card from Jen was "awesome".

A personalized satin cape and snazzy photo card from Linda and Dean.

Photos of Mateo's last few weeks of being TWO

Perhaps a little too much sunscreen, but better safe than sorry.

Getting messy with finger paints.

Pretending he's pregnant like Mommy.

A walk through Holly Park (and a good shot of Mommy's tummy).

A trip to Target to check out tricycles.

Hanging out with Maya and Keira.

Yay!  A long awaited visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where we were joined by Mateo's Nana & Papi and Uncle Sam.

Mesmerized by the graceful movements of the Pacific Sea Nettles (Mateo's long-time favorite jellyfish species).

Checking out the interactive exhibits with Uncle Sam.

Mateo can never get enough tunnel time. It was hard to get him out of this one.

A really cool wave tunnel.

Off to preschool!

Chillin' on the stoop.
