We spend time in the living room and kitchen, playing and sometimes get the camera out and take self-portraits - right now I spend a lot of time practicing balance and walking w/ my Brio cart. I am learning and understand spanish, just as much as the english.

Well until I started crying - it's tough to be stuck in a back pack that long!
So time for the good stuff - a party & chocolate cake (Mommy made it special for me)!!I wasn't sure about all the commotion, and cried during the opening of the presents... but when that birthday candle was lit and the singing b
egan... I loved every minute of it.
