Cupcakes is one!

Cupcakes has been getting Mama ready for her big day. The week before her birthday, Cupcakes started drinking perfectly with a glass and also with a straw. The week of her birthday she started taking up to four steps on her own. She also got up that Friday morning and snuggled with Mama for five minutes before we got out of bed.

While waiting to cross the street as pedestrians Saturday night, Daddy kissed Cupcakes while Cupcakes rested her head on Daddy. Mama said, "I kissed her first." Daddy said, "I already kissed her before you started." Cupcakes moved her head towards Mama to put her head next to Mama's. The little one understands!

After the birthday party Cupcakes read to Mama, opening up the book, "reading," and pointing. Cupcakes, you are a big girl now.

Thanks for inviting us to your party Cupcakes!! We had a great time, and I think I am still full from over-stuffing myself. BTW, does anyone else think it's hilarious that your name is Cupcakes and you're not allowed to eat sugar? hee hee.

Sorry I wasn't able to make it, but glad I could enjoy your pictures! It looks like Cupcakes had a fun birthday with lots of good people. I must say Cupcakes is lucky to have parents who like to eat such good food. Happy Birthday Cupcakes!!
