Maya Turns One

Well, it was finally "Happy Boday to Maya!" The little birthday girl was up at 5:30 a.m. this morning and after a full bottle of whole milk, she was ready to face the day. Mummy and Daddy sang Happy Birthday to her, and after that, Daddy went off to work, Mummy went back under the covers, and Maya went back to sleep. After another two hours of shuteye, we resumed the birthday with a hearty breakfast and a nice birthday bath. What a morning...lots of birthday calls and ofcourse, practicing the blowing out of candles. Then, it was off to see Grandma Doroty for a visit, lunch at Red Robin (where Mummy missed the birthday song because she was in the bathroom), a bit of last mintue birthday shopping, then it was back home to prepare for the mini-birthday party (more partying on November 8th at the train club).
Shammy, Shappy, Grammy B., Grampa Bob, and Uncle Marlon joined us for a wonderful celebration. There was shepherds' pie and salad and birthday cake followed by a room full of presents...WOW!
Radio flyers wagon, doll house, dollies, Clubhoue Mickey car, stuffed animals, clothes, musical instruments, earrings, and a special shirt painted by Shappy...after digging into the cake, trying out all the presents, and clearing up the living room, Maya drank her milk, and with a deep sigh, headed into slumber...what a wonderful first year it's been.
