Janeiro Family Blog: First Birthday, and First Word?

Birthday Girl!!! on 7/24/14

Ok so the birthday party was awesome and I'll write more tomorrow, but.....

The big news of the day is Olivia said "Trixie" twice in the span of 10 minutes!!!!

She was concentrating so hard! My parents were even here to witness the event. So fun!!! My little girl is growing up so fast!!!

Poor little one has a nasty bug bite on her arm and we went to urgent care after the party on Sat and again today - now we have antibiotics and are feeling better about the whole thing.

Sarah is home safe after a quick trip, and I just dropped off mom and dad at SFO for a red eye.

Party at Ardenwood Farm was a great success, the highlight being Olivia and her first birthday cake. We had far too much food and about 49 guests. The animals were cute, the bubbles a hit, and no big games because of the Ardenwood rules. Olivia was fairly well behaved. The shade of the trees was wonderful and everyone seemed to have a nice time. It was really special to have my parents and Sarah come all the way out here for the party. We really needed the help! We are happy to be moving on to the next thing, whatever that will be.

Sunday after the party, Mom helped me clear out the kitchen pantry in an attempt to eradicate the moths that keep infesting it. That is a chore best done with a helper! Kevin had a horrible headache and slept for most of the day. Annie came by for a visit, but unfortunately that was the moment we decided to take Olivia *back* to Urgent Care because it looked like her sore was spreading/streaking. So we missed the opportunity to socialize with Annie & Walter. :( Eventually, we pumped up Rodi - grandparents

birthday gift to Olivia - and put together a little tricycle and had a grand time playing out on the patio when things cooled off a bit. I was speaking in tongues by the end of the day.

I need some sleep! It's been a hot weekend!
