Photo credit shout out to Mama of Fluffy White Dog for the majority of these photos while I was running around like the Party Mama that I am.

First Steps

While the Family O is happily vacationing in Tahoe, Fiona is working on her walking. Everywhere. Walking in lakes, walking on land, walking inside, and walking out.

And while Mama isn’t exactly sure the best way to show walking in a photo, she thought this pic was kind of sweet of some early stepping in the kitchen.*

* We’re thinking we have a little soccer payer on our hands! Good job keeping your eye on the ball Fiona. Daddy is proud of you already.

Is a Baby A Toddler When She Starts to Toddle?

Cause I think we have a Toddler on our hands.

The Sippy Cup is walking!

At least a little bit.

One step at a time, right?

And based on her crawling speed we’re pretty sure she’s going to take off running very soon. Mama is working on her cardio in preparation.

How to Party Like a One Year Old

We already saw a sneak peek of how much fun Fiona had on her first birthday. Now it’s finally time to see how totally rad the Party was. And whoo-boy it was a fun one!

In fact – it was double the fun of a regular party because we celebrated with Fiona’s boyfriend – an older man of five days. Mamas and Papas and babies all had the best of times.

There were babies kissing babies,

and magical birthday hats,

and cupcakes galore!

Cupcakes!

Even the strollers had their very own party.

But its not a real party until there’s an itty bitty baby birthday smackdown.

Good thing Fiona got that elbow throw in there.

Fiona had a blast but sometimes she just wanted some alone time with the people she loves best.

And because Zeke was not invited to the party ( we know – it’s not fair) Fiona made friends with a very lovely German Shepherd…

and when the doggie left it seems the party was done. At least Fiona thought so.

Wait! Take Me With You.

The End.
