Here's the birthday girl!!!
Well, our old friend Kate turned one yesterday and was it ever a blast! We seem to have turned the corner as far as calm and serene playdates where everyone is content to sit on the floor and play with toys: children were running / walking / crawling everywhere, climbing stairs (yes, that would be me...but in my defense Kate's house has a rather grand staircase!) and just generally having a great time. Here's a photo of the birthday girl and her mom...so cute in her "1" t-shirt and party hat!
Here comes Chandler making his grand entrance. Chandler's mom told us that he wasn't his usual happy-go-lucky self that day as he'd been experiencing a painful episode of teething. I have no idea what a molar is but something tells me I'm about to find out, along with my mom and dad, who will likely suffer right along with me. :o) Anyhow, Chandler put in a brave face and kept up the frenetic pace alongside the rest of us. Oh, and Chandler's mom told my mom that Chandler took his first two steps, too - way to go, Chandler! Woo-hoo!
Here's Mia taking a lunch break...I think she's enjoying a rice cake in this photo. Little did she know that the real cake was on its way!
My mom did her best to feed me some yogurt and a few miscellaneous healthy items for lunch but, to be honest, I am perfectly content to munch on a roll over in the corner... and I think I may have "borrowed" this roll from Olivia. Sorry Olivia!
Olivia is getting ready to hit the road, as she, along with the rest of us, is exhausted by the day's events. Kate's first birthday was really, really great and we were all very happy to have been invited to join the fun. I have fond memories of the early days with Kate...we were both cows for Halloween and, ever since, I've felt a bond with her. And even though we don't get to see her as often, she's still one of our good buddies. Congrats on your big day, Kate!
