1st Birthday Picnic!

My mom's group had a picnic on Friday to celebrate all of our kiddos turning 1! (They were all born between July and December 2006.) It is so hard to believe that I've known this great group of women (and babies) for a year! The group is an incredible resource and has helped me keep my sanity throughout the first year of motherhood! It was a gorgeous day and the food was delicious! Calder had his first jello jiggler, and I paid for it over the next SEVERAL diaper changes! Oy!

At the picnic, we were entertained by the talented Mr. Skip! You may know some of his hits: The Wheels on the Bus and The Itsy Bitsy Spider are a few favorites!

Thanks to Elizabeth for the photos! I swiped them from your site since I forgot to bring my camera to the picnic!

Running!

Calder has been walking for just over a month, and he is already off and running! It's a lot of work to keep up with him as he darts back and forth through the yard. Good exercise for Mommy!

Two Little Chubbies

Aren't they just the cutest!?

More outdoor fun!

Lucky loves our new yard just as much as Calder, if not more!

Sandhya's growing taste buds

Who'd want pureed peas when you could have a delicious cheeseburger!? Oh that's right -- Calder would. He refuses to eat any kind of meat! Sandhya is much more adventurous when it comes to table foods! (But no, she didn't really eat the cheeseburger...)

Pleeeease let us outside, Grandpa!
