Emily Madison: A Birthday Fit For A Tiny Queen!

Can't believe how quickly this year has gone by, it's simply amazing. Saying that I am a Mom of a 1 year old just doesn't seem possible. We have had a wonderful year that was celebrated by a wonderful birthday, filled with lots of love, laughs and even a few presents :)

We spent the day with Nana Jo and PJimmy at KidCity a children's museum in Middletown, CT. She was a little bit too small for all of the exhibits, but she still had a great time, mostly watching the other children. We'll definitely be going back once she starts to walk and can explore a bit more herself. All and all it was a success adventure.

We stopped for lunch and then headed straight home for a much needed nap for the little lady.
After her nap, we were joined by Mimi and Papa and had a delicious dinner in our dining room. We never use the dining room but felt it was appropriate since we were celebrating such a special occasion. Daddy made a delicious filet and I made her a little ladybug cake. I was pretty proud of my skills since it was my first try. It was a lot of fun to do, so I hope as the years go on my skills will only get better and better.

Speaking of cake, this was the first time Emily had any time of sweets, but it was her birthday so of course, she had to have cake! She was certainly interested but wasn't exactly sure what to do with the piece we gave her. She kept looking at me and I could see it in her eyes that she was thinking, is she really letting me eat this? You mean I can just pick up this piece and eat it? She didn't shove it in her face like most 1 year olds I have seen. Instead, she was very dainty and ate it with little bites and didn't even make a big mess. Can't complain though, it was much easier to clean her up this way!

All in all we had a wonderful day, celebrating a wonderful little lady. Here's to another year filled with love, health, family, friends and lots of fun and laughs!
