My Birthday

Yesterday was a busy day. After we got that onesie picture out of the way dad and I went shopping for what mommy called "last minute things" for my party. Then I was supposed to take a nap, but I couldn't sleep for long because I could tell something fun was going to happen.

And it did! Lots of my family and friends came over and I got to crawl and walk around all over the house with them. There was more people at the table than usual when we had lunch, and then I got to tear paper off a bunch of things. Selene helped me because I think I was going to slow. I don't know if everyone went to the toy library or what, but there was lots of toys!

Mommy made my cake. It turned out better than the baptism shamrock.

I didn't even have to wait to open this present - a bean bag from Christa and Ryan!

I'm one!

Selene and daddy helping me open presents. Why do people cover them up? I just want to play!

Test driving my Dora scooter from the Kleinhans. Beep beep!

And then guess who had chocolate cake? I did! I'm not sure what the big deal was, but everyone was staring at me while I slowly picked off the frosting. Then dad gave me a spoon and showed me how to dig in to the cake. Mmmmmm, I had almost forgotten how good cake was.

This is a ball I can eat!

This was as messy as I got. I don't want to get tooooo dirty.

After I got up from my nap, I read my birthday cards. In all the excitement I forgot to look at them before. Who knew birthdays were so much fun!
