Puppy-Sized Update

Why don't I just carry the theme forward and begin this post with: How can it be May already? That's certainly a lot easier than explaining where the past three months have gone. And since it's Friday, that's really all I have the bandwith for.

Violet turned one a few weeks back and Izzy fretted long and hard, determined to make it "her best birthday EVER." I tried to take the pressure off by interjecting that, honestly, the bar was low. First birthday.

Kid was havin' none of it. She wrapped and rewrapped the chewtoy several times. It'd be fun to watch Violet tear through wrapping paper. Then again, a gift bag is so much...more. At least the cake was an easy decision — a "pupcake" from our local cupcake emporium, complete with a mini bone on top.

Here's how the celebration played out from Violet's point of view.

Hey, whatever this is about, swear it wasn't me.
 
 
Maybe they didn't find that chewed sock under the bed...
 
 
Frosting!
 
 
Is that what I think it is?

 
Toy, what toy? There's tissue paper to play with!

More than anything, isn't it comforting that first birthdays are all the same?

  1. Love it! The picture of Violet with her face on the table staring at the pupcake is priceless!
