		Takeo Looking for whatever Claire spotted earlier...			Takeo Checking out Aiden's "pushbox" (again, he was late - just catching up)			Takeo | Claire | Eva | Nolan | Aiden All in Aiden's crib
		Takeo | Claire | Eva | Nolan | Aiden And pandemonium ensues...			Takeo | Claire | Eva | Nolan | Aiden ...and ensues...			Takeo | Claire | Eva | Nolan | Aiden ..until Aiden calls in the PET (not the stuffed dog - the Parental Extraction Team)

		Birthday Cakes Takeo had a great idea to get a 1-year Birthday cake			Birthday Cakes But the big cakes all had chocolate, so based on the available cakes (& colors), Daddy made the command decision to get a boy's & girl's cake			Aiden | Claire | Takeo Aiden says that Takeo is crowding him, but Takeo pleads innocent (which means he's not, of course) - Claire is staying out of this one!
		Nolan | Takeo | Aiden The boys split off before the end of the party to form a "He-man, Woman-haters club", but realized that they don't hate girls at all.			Nolan | Takeo | Aiden Aiden again is wondering why Takeo is ALWAYS playing with his stuff			Nolan | Takeo | Aiden Just before the party ends, the three of them try to reproduce the first boy's group photo - they did an amazing job - no continuity issues could be found...
