Lucy's Birthday - Welcome to the Circus!

Lucy's Birthday party was circus-themed.  We had a really good time and I think Lucy and her guests did too.  It was so fun to have so many special friends and family join us to celebrate her first year!

Lucy seems slightly distracted ....

Trying to persuade her to pose for the camera.

Lucy's Birthday - First Taste of Cake and Ice Cream

These were taken on Lucy's actual birthday but we've been having so much fun this summer I have not done much blogging.  Lucy was pretty cautious about the cake at first.  She now knows just what cake and cupcakes are and "asks" (by pointing and grunting) for them when we're at parties.  Enjoy!

In her special birthday tutu and hat, a gift form Mimi.

Why are you singing?

Is it okay to touch this, Daddy?

Hmmm

Yep, this warrants the foot on the table position.  Yummy!

Investigating all the noise-making buttons.  Note the little NASCAR figures sitting up front.

Watch out!
