David, Michele and … Piper

Piper attended her first birthday party last Saturday afternoon. Raylee from Play Group turned one and had a really fancy party. The theme was French Bakery, so Piper chowed down on some fries with ketchup. Mm-mm-MM! Before we went to the party, I took a few shots of our girl in her party gear (thank you, PG moms, for encouraging the bow–she looks SO presh in it):

On Sunday, I read the Tarnow blog and decided that their trip to Heights Park looked like something fun for us to try. Piper’s favorite part of the trip had nothing to do with the swing set, but instead with the much older skateboarder boys who were practicing jumping a little ramp. She stood there mesmerized for several minutes and the boys didn’t mind showing off for us. You’ll note the disinterest in the  swing:

Who’s coming to my party?

Daddy taught someone how to undo the velcro on her shoes, so that has become a favorite past time. Every time I pull her out of the car–even if we only go a block down the street–we have to put on her shoes again (as she calls them “shuzz”). The Shoe Removal Process happens a lot at home, too. Thanks, Daddy. You can see one shoe in the background in the picture below…  She’s wearing her new jammies that Mommy finally uncovered in the thousands of boxes of hand-me-downs from Aunt Lizzie. Having lost some of her baby fat, I think she looks like a little string bean:

Most mornings, Piper helps Daddy get the paper. On Wednesday morning, they didn’t get the paper together, so after we walked Daddy out to the car, I let Piper go get it herself.

Man, she’s cute!
