Elizabeth's First Birthday Party

Elizabeth got an invite to her first birthday party. Normally Derrick and I get the invite but this year it was addressed to Elizabeth. My girlfriend's son turned 9 and had his birthday party today at Lasertron. Of course she isn't old enough to participate in the games with the older kids so she hung out with the adults.

Here are the kids at the birthday party - the birthday boy is the second child from the left:


She got her first tastes of pizza sauce/dough and cake and frosting:


My girlfriend and her mom kept giving her tastes and then when I cut her off of those yummy things she threw a fit since she wanted more. But she enjoyed watching the balloons and the other kids running around the place.

She started getting fussy and didn't want her bottle so I left and headed over to my girlfriend's house. She just had the IVF procedure done that morning and wanted some company while she had to lay flat on her back the whole day. After I fed Elizabeth, she played on the floor with her toys and the dog (and the dog's toys) while I played cards with my girlfriend. We also watched the Dr. Doolittle movie that was on TV and Elizabeth got a kick out of seeing all the animals.

We then went to my aunt's house to pick up my mom. We had dropped her off in the morning so she could visit while I was at the party and my girlfriend's house. So we visited with them for a couple hours and had ice cream cake for my Uncle's 50th birthday. Elizabeth loved the ice cream cake samples we gave her. She also had fun playing on the floor with some empty cookie tins and a large spoon my other Uncle gave her to play with.

Needless to say when my mom and I left my Aunt's house, Elizabeth passed out as soon as we started driving. Poor baby was tired out from all the partying she did today. When I got home, I took her out of her seat and she groggily woke up. I took her jacket off and put her in her crib and she just fell back to sleep with no complaining.
