Oh my, has her first year of life flown by quickly!
At a pretty park in her hometown, with a fabulous play ground for kids, protected by the hot sun under a giant pavilion, 50 family members and friends came to celebrate at Sofia's 1st birthday party.
Two car suv/van loads full, best of luck to her mommy & daddy figuring out where to put all her new gifts. It reminded me of the days when my girls were little on their birthdays and at Christmas. I would have to unload toys just to make room for all their new stuff.
From me, I enhanced bath time with a whale that fits over the faucet, a plastic pitcher with a rounded rubber spout that conforms over the forehead to pour water over her head, a set of mesh bags for the tub, LOTS of special ordered tubby toys, and a Zoo Family Membership.
A couple careful tastes ...
... and she decided it was very good.
Some of Sofia's cousins and friends. She loves being around kids.
A first birthday party success + a special announcement. At the end of the party, family & friends were gathered for a large group photo. As everyone was smiling and ready for the picture, Mariah said, "1, 2, 3, WE'RE PREGNANT!" Caught on video.
