Mila's First Birthday Party Cali style.

So I have a few pictures from Mila's party, more to come as I snag copies from people.

Let's get this party started.

Mila admiring the Pinata.

Mila reassuring the Pinata that everything will be OK

She loved her new bucket and dragged it around for the most part of the day.

Tutu butt

Mila feeling a little sad that it is all grown ups at her party....

More Tutu butt.

Anyone for some tunes?

Ella shows up just in time to smash the Pinata.

The carnage

Mila painfully looking out at the pinata

Come on guys let me on the couch!

Birthday week.

When we got home from Washington, we had a present from NagyMa and NagyPa waiting for us. Mila thought that biting it open would be the easiest.

Yes! The jacket I really wanted.

More presents in the morning...wow, Birthday week is awesome.

Mmmm paper tastes good.

Books, books and more books, I think Mummy wants me to be a nerd.

Happy to be back in Sunny California Dance.

Praising the sun gods.

Grammas house

Snuggle time with Grandpa

Easter Sunday also celebrated Mila and Uncle John's birthday.

yum

Mila thinks her great-grandparents chair is pretty swell.

Mila's First Birthday Party at Gramma's.

PARTY TIME!!!!

There's nothing like a birthday suit for the Birthday Girl.

The theme of the party was cupcakes...all the way down to her attire.

She did not like the musical candle.

Yay for presents!

and more presents....

It's the Cleavers again.

Mila takes a moment to reflect on her first year.

I think that she is unhappy about the fact that her head is bigger than Samaya and Isabella's....even though they have a couple of years on her. That's our 95th percentile baby

Sweet as pie.

Chill time with her cousins.

Beauty sleep is a must.

Did someone just announce Pinata time?

Yep.....Pinata time.

This looks like a job for Gramma

Show that Pinata who's boss Gramma.

Trip to Stinson Beach

Qute Quotes

Mila had a sore leg and couldn't walk properly. As I tucked her into bed tonight she said "No more disco" because she couldn't dance anymore.
Today Mila referred to my bra as a top with boobs
Mila had a little plumbers crack showing so I tickled it and she responded with "don't touch my butt it's stinky!"
Sex ed according to Mila. "Boys have a peanut on their butt".
We were at dinner discussing who was messy, Mila looked at Anton and said, "you're a little bit messy Daddy", then she turned to June and said "June, you're a hot mess!".
Mila is beginning to read, so she is constantly asking how to spell the things in her surroundings. The other day she was sitting on Anton's lap, she poked him in the tummy and asked "Daddy, how do you spell chubby?"
Mila: "When I grow up I want to have a big, big, big nose!" This girl sets some high goals for herself.
When Mila is wowed by something she says "Holy Crab!!"
Mila. "Well, the party is over, I tinkled in the pool!"

It also happens to be Anton's Great Grandmother's name.
