Maddy goes to a party!

Maddy went to her first birthday party a few weeks ago. It was her friend Gracie's first birthday and they really put on a production. Pink everywhere, toys everywhere, chocolate and pizza everywhere. Maddy woke up from her nap and then we left for the party immediately, so when we first got there she just needed her lunch. Fast. She had some pizza and a cookie with very pink frosting, some fruit and a little pasta salad. The she was ready to roll. They had a little baby height table covered in sweet puffs for the babies to enjoy - this was pretty much Maddy's favorite spot (along with all the other babies). We all had a really great time and can't wait until Maddy's first birthday party.

I'm also uploading some pics from one of Maddy's first playgroups. We went to a neighbor's house to hang out for a bit. She kind of had fun - she loves playing with toys by herself but get her with other kids and she just wants to play with her mama. We're going to more and more play groups to get her more into the group thing. We've got a St. Patty's day party next Wednesday afternoon with 26 other babies. Should be interesting!

I'm also also uploading pics of my messy little eater. She is so sleepy by dinnertime (6:00) that she ends up rubbing whatever she's eating into her eyes. I try to get her to take a short nap before dinner and we can't eat any earlier than 6:00 without wanting 2nd dinner before bed! This girl loves italian food - pizza, lasagna, spaghetti, meatball subs...
