Egg Yolks and Whole Milk, Oh My!!

That's right, my baby turned one a few days ago. In the interest of full disclosure, she's been getting egg yolks and milk for a little while now. I can't very well add the chocolate syrup to a bottle of formula, can I? We had a little get together for Greeley's birthday.No pony rides or moon bounces. Who needs pony rides when you have cupcakes?!


Cupcakes with sprinkles?


We opted to serve Greeley her cupcake al fresco.

I can tell she's my third child, because I am slowly getting smarter. See how she's wearing just an old t-shirt and diaper? She's not wearing the really cute striped birthday dress she wore for the earlier portion of the festivities. That's because I REMEMBERED to change her out of the dress for cupcake eating.



I told you I was getting smarter.

After destroying her cupcake, Greeley was ready to move on to Atlee's share.

Shea didn't leave his cupcake vulnerable to attack. Hey look- it's something else my finicky eater likes. Cupcakes. It's not broccoli, but it's a start.

Rich and Uncle John tossed a baseball around in the street.

All the kids enjoyed the crazy giant ball. Unfortunately, it did not survive the festivities. Ball obituary may appear later in the week. Or not.

Back to the baby. Because she is still a baby. I don't care that she took her first independent steps over the weekend. She's a baby.


Ahem. I got the baby all cleaned up from the cupcake craziness.

It was present time. She's curious about the toys...

But she remembered to read the card first.

Thank you to everyone who helped with the birthday celebration. Oh- you missed it? It's not too late to get Greeley a little something-something for her birthday. She just told me she really wants a nice digital camera that doesn't have a six second shutter lag. And a telescopic lens. I swear, she totally did.
