Miss Mang-O (as Bob calls her) is now one whole year old. We had a great little party, told everyone best wishes only, and were up to our eyeballs in prezzies anyhow. All good, all the kids helped Mags open her presents and candles were lit and relit so everyone got to blow them out.
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to!
Here’s a bunch of pictures from the day of her birthday. Sharing strawbs with Bob (she’s no longer sensitive to them, hallelujah), napping on Daddy, partying hard.
Lately I’ve been glowing over my easy to please babe. Thinking about how easy babies are compared to toddlers (for me, and despite colic!) Then wouldn’t ya know it last night, she starts THIS NOISE. An “I want” noise. I remember this with Bob; his noise was a fairly innocuous guinea pig wheep-wheep. Maggie’s brand new “I want” noise is an ear piercing, high volume, full force SHRIEK.
This is really motivating me to get my butt in gear with the sign language, something we’d been lagging on. I do the potty sign, eat and more…. but LAGGING NO LONGER. Baby signing, here we come! The horrendous shreiking must end!
Made a giant whack of chevre this morning with my Rennet Rebels pal Brandy. Off to make more lip balms and package my soaps in preparation for the Saturday morning Farmer’s Market. WOO!
aw happy birthday to her
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!^^
Happy Birthday!!! I cannot believe she’s a year!
Happy Birthday! The 30th is my birthday, too! I didn’t realize there were so many people with June 30 birthdays. Those cakes look delicious.
Happy Birthday to Mags!
Leo also has a shriek, which is usually unleashed when he is in his pram, walking through town, or a shopping mall. It’s ALWAYS answered by other shrieks from other kids. Like a pack of wolves baying to each other……
Happy Birthday Maggie! Gosh, time goes too fast. I feel like she was born yesterday!
love annie
wow, the year just flew buy so fast..Happy Birthday Mags
Happy Birthday Maggie! Man a year does fly by!
Ash, my nephew was born deaf we’ve been signing with him (now 14). We use it when talking to all the kids because it just happens in tandem with speaking now. But, my hearing nephew and niece caught onto it very very quickly between the ages of 10 months and 18 months. It’s an amazing tool.
Thank you so much for inviting us to her birthday. The cheese cake was awesume!
A whole year, craziness!
Happy belated, Mags
Happy Birthdayyyy
