CELEBRATIONS

Whew...it was a whirlwind of a weekend. So many important things to celebrate in just a few short days. We began with Mother's Day. Here I am with Mommy eating breakfast in bed! I had never eaten anywhere but in the kitchen and usually in my highchair. This was really fun. Daddy made us both toast, eggs, banana (MY FAVORITE), yogurt and juice for Mom and water for me. We also made Mom a card with a note explaining that we bought a photo shoot session with Nicole Barczak. Mommy has wanted her to do photos of our family for a long time. She was really excited. Daddy and I did well picking out the perfect gift.



Getting ready to chow! Meal times are my most favorite times of the day!



Our next very important celebration was Daddy's birthday. Mommy made him lasagna. We put a candle in it and sang. We also made Daddy his favorite cookies.



If you look closely you can see a tomato on my forehead. Sometimes I can get a bit rowdy with my food. It doesn't always make it to my mouth.



The final celebration was all about me. I turned 1 year old!!!! With that, I got to sit facing forward in my car seat. Riding in the car is far more exciting now that I can see where I'm going. I also found out I can throw things in the front seat to get my parents attention.

My birthday lunch was at Mongolian BBQ. I got to eat a tortilla and a piece of Mom's stir-fry. It was fabulous.

We also made a pit stop at the Treehouse. I got to play, play, play with Mom and Dad. We threw balls, slid down slides, and crawled around the tunnels. It was a BLAST!

What better way to end your birthday than to eat ice cream! I got to eat my very first ice cream cone from Cascades Ice Cream. It was so tasty! I said "MMmmmmmm...." as I took my first lick. I could definitely get used to this one year old thing. I get to eat tasty food, see more action in the car, and oh...I forgot to tell you. I figured out how to flush the toilet today. Talk about cool! I think my parents are a little nervous about my new discovery. I will show them I can be responsible and not throw too much down the toilet:)

Stay tuned...the big party is this weekend. I'll have lots of pics to share I'm sure.
