First Birthday

Maggie's 1st birthday was a lot of fun. Nana & Grandpa Gardner were here for the day. We went to music class, then home to open presents! Maggie received lots of clothes, many wonderful toys & books, and a lion chair to sit on and think grand thoughts.

After a very nice dinner at Randy's Steakhouse, it was home for cake! I made a ginger/cinnamon cake for Mags, and frosted it with avocado icing. MMM...good!

Maggie had her 12 month checkup yesterday. Our girl is 21 lbs 10 oz and is 30'' long.

Maggie can make the sounds of various animals, either when asked or when she sees a picture in a book. Duck, Lion, Horse, Elephant (bet you think I'm making that one up!), Dog and Parrot are all part of her repertoire. She is working to include Cat, Sheep, Fish (glub glub glub, of course), Turkey and Bear.
