Anna Turns 1

It is hard to believe that Anna Banana is 1 already.

How crazy are we? We just moved a week ago and we already decided that Anna needed to have a B-day party . It was small, but we did have a couple of people come. Bob's parents came up, Aunt Shirley and Aunt Viv came up, and Bob's cousins Rocco and Heidi came as well.

I fixed a very casual dinner, but was smart to order a cake for the event from one of our grocery stores . Here is the "adult" cake. It was a marble cake with a whipped frosting. It was very yummy.Because every 1 year old should have the joy of diving into their own little heaven, I ordered Anna her very own chocolate cake just for her. Below is her cake.
Here is Anna sizing up her cake. She isn't quite sure what to make of it. She was very much like Celie was with her first cake - very careful, just touching it lightly with her fingers and then licking them. No diving here.
She had had enough at this point. All the frosting on her face and in her hair was her own doing. The little patch gone on the side of the cake was a little help from Mama. I wanted her to see that there was some other goodies hiding underneath all that white fluffy goodness.
Here is a blurry picture of Anna on her new Walker/Trike that Mama and Daddy got for her. All of the pictures I took of her on it were blurry because she wouldn't stop moving while on it. That is the story of Anna at the moment - a girl on the move and a very tired Mama.
