My First Birthday!!
My birthday cake. Above, I blew out the candles with Mom and Sophie's help (she is in another picture). At left, Dad helps me eat the cake.
We spent my birthday weekend in Henderson, KY at my great-grandparents house. They live right next to the Ohio River.
Above: More cake, please Aunt Meg? Maybe if I stare at you.
Right: A ball party?!?! Is there anything better??
Above: Playing with the ball on Great Grandma Mellen's lap (she is my Mom's maternal grandmother).
Right: Playing with Sophie and my Great Grandpa Mellen. Aunt Margaret is in the background.
I had a great time playing! Grandpa Kowalski (at left) is too fun, and they let me play with all these colorful kites.
Above: I am quite adept at gardening. Check out this shovel maneuver.
At right: It was very important that I show my Aunt Patricia something. Probably a ball.
