dmarleyFirst things first:
Just got back today from visiting the parents for Boo's first birthday. I spent Thursday and Friday shopping for Boo clothes with my mom, getting her fitted out for colder weather, including her first shoes.
We had a little birthday "party" yesterday, just Boo, me, Albert, my mom, and my stepdad. We put Boo in her high chair, sang "Happy Birthday" while she looked at us as if we'd gone insane, and gave her a little cupcake with a candle in it. My mom helped her blow the candle out, and she got to stick her fingers--and her stuffed elephant--into the icing before she ate it. My mom gave her a shirt with her name on it, Albert and I gave her some bath blocks, and an old friend of my mom's sent her a stuffed dog which, for reasons I haven't yet dared ask, Albert immediately christened "Pongo." She loves Pongo, and he seems to have supplanted even Pinky (the aforementioned elephant) and Cow in her affections. She had a very happy birthday, I think. :)
Happy Birthday, Boo! One day late :)
