My first birthday ...

OK .. since I am one year old year, I believe I am legally allowed to blog. (I hope daddy is accurately translating by mumblings into the humorous insights I want to share. I don't want my blog to become like this " World's most boring blog").

I don't know what my parents have been telling all of you about how well they are taking care of me, how naughty I am, how fussy I am eating, how I wake them up at night, etc., etc, but wait till you hear my side....

Well.. that year went by fast (not that I have anything to compare it with :-) I must have done my job right - daddy and mommy seemed to have a busy and engaging year. (Hmm.. I wonder where daddy found time to put on those extra pounds).

Thanks to my birthday falling on a weekday, I had two birthday celebrations - one small one at home with just daddy and mommy and another one with lots of friends (daddy told me something about some 22nd amendment requiring that all birthdays falling on weekdays be celebrated on weekends. I need to check that one )

On my actual birthday (16 th March), mommy took the day off to take me around and make me feel special. I did my best and pooped twice that morning ;-) . We caught up with daddy for some lunch and I cut a small cake in the evening. (yeah...yeah, you call that a special day ? .. I was hoping to meet one those Teletubbies .. that yellow one is CUTE)

After the minor let down, I decided to wait for the "big" party on Sunday. Geeta aunty came by for the party. She lives in Texas (daddy asked me not to hold that against her ;-)). We did some last minute shopping. Mommy packed all the goodie bags. Daddy had to work on the day (Saturday) before the party (He said something about bringing home the bacon - I thought my parents were vegetarian).

Anyways, the big day rolled in. Bright and sunny. The party was at a restaurant in Woburn - about 30 minutes from our house. Mommy said that it was a special day and I needed to feel special. I tried hard and this time I managed to throw up all that I ate that morning. Mommy said something I heard once on HBO, and cleaned me up. She still had the patience to dress me up in a dress similar to what she was wearing. Mommy is the best !!

I had a great time at the party. I was so sleepy but I was not going to miss the fun. So, I stayed awake. There were lots of kids, lots of fdaddy's and mommy's friends, lots of food and lots of fun. I cut a big cake this time. The cake was a yummy cake with Tweety toys (not edible ones though - bummer). All the kids had party hats and they all sang some vague birthday song (I guess they did not know "Twinkle twinkle" song).

We came home and I went to sleep. When I woke up, I saw a lot of nicely wrapped boxes and gift bags. COOL !! I played with the wrapping paper all evening. (Sometimes I wonder what is in all those boxes that are inside the wrapping paper)

Just kidding - I loved the gifts !!! Thanks everyone for making it a cool birthday party !!!
