When we got back from CO, Grandma came out to visit for a week and a half. She came to help Mommy transition back to work, but I didn't have to work as much, so we had a lot of fun playing. Even though it rained the whole time! We had a great first birthday for Elizabeth.
We celebrated her actual birthday on Friday with family presents. She is enjoying the plastic food from Mommy and Daddy, especially the eggplant and mushrooms! She loves the books, dress and puzzle from Auntie Amanda and family.
We spent most of Friday preparing her cake for Saturday's party. Daddy decided on the Very Hungry Caterpillar theme, and Mommy wanted the cake (made of cupcakes) to be perfect. There was a lot of dye in the icing, but it was yummy! I also found the cookies from last year that she received in the hospital. I had followed all of Auntie Amanda's instructions for freezing the top of the wedding cake in order to freeze the cookies. Lizzy and Mommy liked them!
On Saturday, we had some friends from RR and BF support group come over for the party. We had a good time and Lizzy enjoying opening her presents. There was a lot of drama when she received her "baby" and she wanted it out of the packing immediately. As you know, it takes some serious cutting to get into those toy packages, but our friend Ali came to the rescue and released the baby from its plastic prison, much to Lizzy's delight. She did not really eat much of her cupcake, but gave it a taste and smeared some of her face for her picture!
She is having lots of fun with all her new presents. Thank you everyone for joining us to celebrate!
