The party was on the 14th, and many baby friends came to play. Benjamin was really happy to have them all around, and liked his presents very much, although he apparently played with only one that day: the dumper truck, of course. And he wasn't at all interested in his birthday cake, so thankfully (I guess) there wasn't a big mess to clean afterwards.

On the actual birthday, we took Benjamin to the park during the day, and to another park by the beach in the afternoon. We gave him another opportunity to make a cake-mess, and again he didn't want anything to do with it. Oh, and what probably made him most happy, is that his car seat now faces forward: he's fascinated by all the new and cool things he can now see through the window.
