I'm One!

For my birthday, Dada, Mama, Grandma, and Gampa L took me to a petting zoo. Grandma rode a kiddie train with me and helped me to "drive" a truck. Gampa showed me the tractors. We had a lot of fun. (But everyone forgot their cameras!)

The next day, I had a photo shoot with all of my first cousins and then we had a party at my Gram D's house. Almost all of my cousins from Dada's side were there too---first, second, and third cousins! My oldest first-cousin, Samantha (who is 13 years older than me), took really good care of me. And Grandma L made me a homemade cake too for the party (see picture)!

Here I am with my first cousins at the professional shoot (they take one every year---this is my first one!); and then a picture of me at the party with the cousins again. And finally, a picture of me blowing out the candles on my special cake.

And I have one more party to go! Wow! Turning 1 years old must be very, very special!
