Two!

We had fun celebrating Isla’s 2nd birthday today with family and friends. The theme was “island,” as in Isla :-) She giggled when everyone sang happy birthday to her and clapped after wards. She also has been having a lot of fun saying all the colors, counting up to five, surprising us with new words (such as “armpit” and “goldfish”), and of course she loves to dance!

Birthday Playdate

Today Isla invited some of her baby friends over for a birthday playdate. Gramma came too to see all the little ones playing nicely with each other. At the height of it, there were a total of 13 moms with their babies!

#1 Birthday

We have a one-year-old cherub on our hands! We celebrated Isla’s first birthday at our home with family and close friends. Everyone was in good spirits and had fun seeing our little girl turn the Big One. The surprise of the day was that, when given her first serving of sugar in the form of her very own personal cake, Isla did not want anything to do with it! So Dad had to step in for the messy face shot (see below). Thanks to everyone who was able to make it for our special day!

Dante’s First Birthday

Today one of the kids in the playgroup we’ve been going to turned one year old. We met at his home and then later met up at the park near our house.

Can you believe all the babies pictured above are at least part Asian?

Happy Birthday, Isla!

Break out the champagne and the “It’s a Girl!” gum cigars, Isla has arrived! She was born on May 17th at 11:33pm. She is 7lbs., 6oz., 21″ tall and is an absolute delight. Alika is a superstar. Early labor began at 6:30 am and she had a natural birth 17 hours later.

Here are some photos of the little one. We’re sorry to keep everyone in suspense!
