Today is my birthday!!

I turned one year old on October 30. I had my very first birthday party on October 29. My aunts, uncles and cousins who live in the area came to celebrate with me.


I was a little nervous to see so many people at our house, so I stayed close to Mommy. Here's a picture of us:





















I felt more social after having a snack, but I was sure to leave room in my tummy for birthday cake. I loved the birthday cake because it had duckies on the top!!















Sasi showed me how to enjoy the best part of the cake--the frosting!!















Yum!!





















Sasi also helped me open my presents. There were toys inside for me!





















I liked this present a lot, it's the Amazing Animal Choo Choo and it plays music and makes animal noises!! Sometimes Papa shuts off the sound, though.





















Here I am the next day eating leftover birthday cake.









I had a great birthday! Thank you everybody for your cards, presents, and good wishes.

Good times!!

I've had a lot of firsts lately. A couple weeks ago I went to a corn maze with Mommy, Papa, and Sasi. It was a glorious autumn day.



While I was there, Mommy insisted I try some mini donuts. Yum!





















I also went to my first petting zoo! I enjoyed rattling the fences, but was a little shy about getting close to the animals.





















Here I am with Papa, relaxing on the straw bales after we'd finished the maze.





















In addition to the corn maze, I recently went to an apple orchard for the first time with Mommy, Papa and Sasi. They all made sure I had a great time while we were there.

Sasi played with me on the swings.





















She also played with me in the straw. I tried to feed her some!















There was a petting zoo at this place, too!





















We enjoyed sampling the apples, and did eventually pick some apples to bring home with us. I was very cozy with Papa that day!


By the way, I'm planning to be a ladybug for Halloween!
