Birthday Week Bonanza!!!!!!!!

What a fun week!!  We had such a great time gearing up for Millie's birthday festivities.   GoGo and Grandpa Cliff arrived a week before and we hit the ground running.  Beach bbq's, bike rides, sunny days, good eats, neighborhood walks....so great!  It was wonderful having them here to help out with Millie, help get ready for the party and most importantly just to get in good quality family time.  Millie's 1st birthday was just perfect.  We had great friends over and the weather was spectacular.  Millie was very tame with her first cake experience...she kept it clean...in fact...2 bites into it, she just shut her eyes in my lap and fell asleep.  Who could blame her....she had been "partying" all week :)   

PS....A HUGE thank you to Grandpa Cliff for working hours upon hours landscaping our yard to get it ready for the party!!!  It is BEAUTIFUL and we APPRECIATE it more than you know!!! xoxoxo

the paper is just as much fun as what's inside

Happy Friday!

Just one week to go, before the big "1"!!!  I just purchased our last can of formula yesterday, as we will be switching to real milk soon!!  Soooo exciting, but a little sad at the same time :)

we're at this GREAT park in the city, with lots of COOL gadgets and equipment, and Millie kept making her way back to the gutter to play with leaves....ha...a simple girl :)

an early birthday gift from Mama and Dada...A Retro Radio Flyer!  We found it at a Thrift store up the street, in mint condition.  She still can't reach the pedals, but she thought it was cool none-the-less!

Morning!

Bikes, balls, beaches...and Elmo

What a fun summer Millie is having...we thought we'd share a few more good times with everyone today!

Hot laps on Mom's cruiser on our neighborhood street...its pretty safe all-in-all, but Dada always yells at the cars to slow down!

An evening at 3rd beach in Stanley Park...always lovely!

Enjoy one of the last pics of me crawling everybody, because I'm gonna be walking really soon!

Loving soccer...although we're not sure how to teach her that she does NOT want to be a goalie

Want to take your car, or mine?

Elmo is both A) the celebrity that lives in our computer is accessed mostly via Youtube and B) a special toy that lives in the basement and moves in a really primitive, robotic fashion
