This little pilgrim is thankful for my wonderful family and friends.Last Thanksgiving, I was fresh out of Mommy's tummy so I was stuck with breast milk. But this year, I got to enjoy all the good stuff -- turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, pie, etc. I REALLY love pumpkin pie.Daddy and I enjoyed the Thankgiving parade and watching high school football. Those poor Dons -- maybe next year.
I've been babbling for months and "bye" and "da" have been my most reoccuring sounds. Mommy and Daddy were reluctant to call these THE FIRST WORDS. But now, I say "bye bye" in response to others and I look at Daddy and say "da" so it's official. Mommy thought my first word would be "ole" because she ate so much mexican food when she was pregnant. Ha.
Let them eat cake! Or in this case, cupcakes. It was wonderful to celebrate my first birthday with my family. Thanks everyone!
I turned 1 today! My grandparents joined Mommy, Daddy, and me for dinner and cake. Since I'm a big girl who has been feeding herself for ages, I had no problem digging into a slice of carrot cake. It was very tasty! I got lots of nice presents, too -- shoes, pearls, money for shopping [or savings per Mommy]. What more can a girl ask for!?!
My favorite guy, JP, and I joined our parents for a date night at St. Leo's ravioli supper. The volunteers made about 15,000 ravioli and 600 pounds of meatballs. That's a lot of italian food! We finished off our meal with home-made cannoli. Mommy plans to be a ravioli maker volunteer for the next dinner, but I think Daddy and I will just be eaters.
