Maize had a birthday. And she was a bit drooly and cranky, not her usual self. I suspect perhaps her first tooth is finally making its way through. Yes she is one and still has no teeth.
She was mostly overwhelmed as the kids tried to help her and show her her presents.
Seeing as how she has more than she needs already, we got her just a few things and let Kate and Sam pick out whatever the liked for her.
Kate picked out a seahorse like hers. Marianne loves Kate's and always stands at her crib when she is supposes to be taking a nap pointing "this" at it sitting on Kate's bed. She went to bed with her own tonight. I think it was a good choice
Sam picked something more practical. Some new sippy cups. I'm not sure why, but he was very excited about them for her and picked some colors he thought she would like
Jake and I got her a few books, a baby doll and an duck on a sting (since the only toy she really plays with is her lion on a string) and a musical treasure chest.
She showed mostly frustration at present opening was mildly interested in one of the books, and then finally enjoyed something at the end when she got her treasure chest. She like the buttons and lights and sounds.
Later during the day she was very pleased with her gifts and kept bringing Jake and I one of her new books to read over and over again. She played a lot with the seahorse and musical treasure box too. The kids played with her all day with her new toys which was very sweet.
She was also more cheerful when we gave her her cake. She was very intrigued by the candle and the fire. When she was given the mini cake I made just for her she just picked the berries off and ate them so daintily. Then she accidentally smashed her elbows into the cake. I cut some cake off into pieces for her and then she ate that too, but only after almost all the berries where gone. She got frosting all over her hands and arms and hair and thought it was funny to clap her sticky hands together.
I hope she had a happy day. She has brought me so many happy days. It was so clear how much we all love her most especially on her special day.
