I can't believe it - my baby is 1 year old!
We had such a fun time yesterday. I sure hope it was a good day for Zaida also. When she first woke up in the morning Corey and I went in and sang happy birthday to her. She didn't quite know what was going on, so she was a little bashful. But, she woke up smiling. I think she knew it was going to be a good day.
We started out with a pancake breakfast. I think she liked it. She wasn't too fond of the one big pancake, so I had to make her a couple of little perfect-for-Zaida's-hand-sized pancakes, then she ate quite a bit better. And, when she was done she considerately threw her plate on the floor for Paxton to finish it off.
After her nap we went up to Hogle Zoo. (As you may or may not know, I tend to call her Zaida Zoo.)
My parents, Quinn & some friends of mine (Ben, Steph & their 2 year old son, Jack) all spent the afternoon with us. It was a HOT afternoon, but Hogle Zoo has a bunch of misters around the zoo, so we were able to cool off between some of the exhibits. Here she is checking out the pregnant elephant. 
It was funny because I would say to Zaida, "Can you see the animals?" And she would promptly look at the rowdy kids next to us. :)
I think she liked the giraffes the best. We have a picture of her (but it's too hard to see on the blog) giving the giraffes a thumbs up. It's pretty dang cute.After 3 hours of playing with the animals we went back to our house for BBQ, gifts and cake! Zaida wasn't so sure about the gifts. She started to get the hang of it later, but I think she was just so hungry & tired that it was too much work! :)
Thankfully Jack was there to help her out.
Zaida got lots of good loot! She got lots of adorable Backyardigan's stuff. Lots of clothes & jammies. Quite a few new toys. And an elephant mom & baby from Jack. And even a triceratops! Thanks everyone - you're the best!
And here comes everyone's favorite part ... the cake! Zaida was pretty mellow. There was very little on the floor. And only a small little smudge on her ear. She was more interested in squishing the dots than actually trying to eat any of it.
I sure hope she had a great day. Zaida has made my life so imaginably happy. And, it's been the best year of my life - for sure!
