Baby Cakes Gets a Cake

Okay, I'm done.

But really, why is she a year old?  I swear she was just born.  I miss those days.  She actually slept then.  Well, sort of.

She's pretty much standing on her own now, and she copies everything you say and do.  Especially "uh-oh."  She loves music, and things that make noises, and making noise.  She also loves books.  And dogs.  She thinks they are funny.  I don't blame her, since ours are morons; any baby could see that.

And she also likes chocolate, we found out today.  The Better Half of The Dog Friends made a chocolate pumpkin to put on her cupcake, and that's pretty much the only part she ate.  She just kind of smashed the rest.  Of course, she did get chocolate all over herself and her clothes in the process of eating this pumpkin.  She got some great clothes which I'm really happy about, because she really didn't have much to wear that was warm, but now she does, and it's cute too!  And she got an awesome book about how rainbows are made and it's all magically with ribbons and stuff.  And a sweet frog table and chairs that she can't get enough of.

And she's not getting sugar again for a while.  Because it's 9:30, and she's still awake.  And not acting tired at all.  And I'm exhausted.  Of course.

Other good news, The Mother-In-Law is moving in to her own place tomorrow!  The Dog Friends fixed up their upstairs apartment for her, and it's ready and waiting.  So congrats to her, I know she's wanted out on her own for a long time.  I will miss not having to cook every night.

And I'll miss her too.

Happy birthday Baby Cakes!
