R turned 1 recently and we had a great little party here at home with her. Here is her and cousin K who are 9 weeks apart in age.
She loved the sparklers but didn't seem to know what to do with her hands. So she hugged them tight the whole time.
We have an odd tradition on 1st birthdays. Because the child having the birthday normally can't blow out the candle the next oldest child, in this case E, gets to blow out the candle. So E blew out R's candle, L blew out E's candle, J blew out L's candle and Auntie Ria (my younger sister who just happened to start this tradition) blew out J's candle.
Her Lady Bug mini cake. She barely ate any of it. The legs were licorice and she ate 3 of them and the spots where her 'favorite snack' chocolate chips and she ate almost all of them!! The 1st thing she did was take the head off and eat the whole thing!! LOL. She pretty much ate icing and candy:) Oh and a bit of homemade Oreo ice cream!! YUMMM.
Red sparklers stick to EVERYTHING!!! And because they are pointy they hurt when we washed them off until we stuck her in the sink for a quick rinse!!
