1 Year Old

Zoë is officially a year old! Holy Crap..........where did the last year go? I cannot believe she is walking, talking and telling me NO NO! She has a little temper, or big temper some times! She cries like she is so broken hearted when I tell her no sternly. It's like her whole world has crumpled! We threw her a big first birthday bash on Saturday, June 20, 2009. I thought it was so awesome that her birthday fell on Saturday so we could have her party that day. We had 32 guests. We swam, the kids played on the new swingset, we ate hot dogs and boston butt sandwiches. Zoë wasn't real sure about her 2 layer strawberry cake mommy made! I put fresh sliced strawberries around it and she loved those. After about 10 minutes she started playing in her cake with help at first. She never did face dive into it. She preferred squishing it in her hands. She received some nice new toys for her birthday from everyone!
