I HAD A BIRTHDAY! They are the coolest things ever.
My birthday started with mom and dad waking me up by singing happy birthday to me. Then they got me out of bed and fed me breakfast. Mom surprised me by staying home from work to celebrate the whole day with me. Gar and Aunt Candy were there too, so that made the day even more special.
Around noon, Pam the picture lady came over to take my one year pictures! She is so much fun and her fotos are beautiful. Daddy came home for lunch to so I had my mommy and daddy there to watch me eat by birthday cake. At first I wasn't real sure about the whole thing, but that cake smelled so good, I couldn't help but stick my fingers in it. Then I tasted the first bite and oh my goodness, that chocolate stuff is the best thing ever! I could't get enough of it. I loved it so much I smooshed it all over my hair and on my face. I even tried to share it with mom and dad. Eventually I figured out that I didn't even need to use my hands I could just stick my whole face in the cake and eat it right from there! How cool! When we were done eating cake, daddy took me upstairs and gave me a bath in the middle of the day! You'd think I was messy or something.
Mom, Gar, Aunt Candy and me all went to lunch at a Chineese Buffet (yeah that's right they let me have cake before lunch!). I tried a few things including hard boiled eggs, but mostly I was entertained by all the people in the restaurant and my aunt's unusual choice of footwear.
I slept hard after that. All that sugar really made me sleepy.
For dinner we went to my favorite restaurant One World and I got to have hummus and falaffel and all sorts of yummy foods. When we got home I got to open some really cool presents. Wow what a day that was. I'm tired just writing about it. I'm gonna go lay down. Next time I'll tell you all about my birthday party and all the cool things I've learned since I turned one.
