The birthday princess got to try another cupcake on Tuesday. She was a bit apprehensive after her chocolate cupcake experience,
but this one turned out to be vanilla so she liked it much better!
Today after school we checked out the new play area at the Galleria. It's a big foam replica of the Galleria mall and surrounding streets. Annette climbed up the Williams Tower,
cruised down Westheimer,
and checked out Neiman's (she takes after her Mommy) :-)
For Annette's birthday party last weekend, we turned her room into the "Balloon Room". It was very popular with all her party guests :-)
She enjoyed chasing some of the errant balloons down the hall
We also had a "Decorate Your Own Cupcake" station, which was a big hit!
Annette was very good at sharing all her toys with her friends :-)
PRESENTS!!!
Happy first birthday, Annette!!!
Annette and her friend Rachel a year ago...
...and today! It's amazing to see how much happens in a year :-)
Annette had a big cupcake-themed birthday party this weekend. I wonder what her first birthday wish was?
Probably not for another chocolate cupcake, which she didn't seem to enjoy very much!
This week Daddy made Annette her favorite breakfast every morning - toast with strawberries and scrambled eggs :-)
After school on Monday we had a playdate with one of our mom's groups - there were babies and toddlers everywhere!!
Yesterday Annette met her new cousin Isabel for the first time!
It's hard to remember that Annette was ever that small...
Today we went to Annette's friend Asher's first birthday party. He walked all around while she enjoyed driving his car :-)
Last Friday we celebrated the start of a long weekend by going swimming! Annette and her friend Asher crawled all around the baby pool in their floaties :-)
On Labor Day we went over to Grandpa D's house for dinner. Annette helped pick out the spices!
After school on Wednesday we went to the Children's Museum, where she climbed up stairs (her favorite!).
Yesterday we tried out Wonderwild, an indoor play area, with one of our mom's groups. They had a big inflatable slide that you climbed up on one side and slid down on the other. We did it at least a dozen times - the princess loves sliding!
She also loves her new favorite lunch of spaghetti with tomato sauce :-)
