Well sadly as first time parents we decided to totally go "all out" in every way possible for Addison's first party-with the expectation that she wouldn't get overwhelmed with all the people and go with the flow. For the most part she did. She actually was in her highchair for a suprisingly and mistakenly ,I might add-long time. Even then she didn't seem to mind. There was too much and too many people to watch and discover. With almost 80 people in attendance-we gathered around to sing Happy Birthday to her after which she daintly picked and prodded at her cake. I would like to compare it to how I scrape icing off of a cake with my finger-come on- it IS the best part-most of the time. I think that most assuredley she would of eaten the whole strawberry cake from Gabriels-a little 5 inch round- if we had let her. To say she got some gifts is a COMPLETE understatement We ended up opening everything after mostly everyone had gone home. The child is definitely blessed as we have hid some of her toys to pull out in the next couple of months until Christmas. She doesn't need a thing! One of her favorite things she got from mommy and daddy was a polka dot chair that she suprisingly loves to sit in to rock and console her baby. She then proceeds to pop out of it and take a few steps before plummeting to the ground. She has recently started to take her first steps. Officially-as Mark is very proud in front of me and a few of Mark's co-workers at his office on his birthday~!
