This will be remembered as the day when Katie attended two birthday parties and photographed her first pictures.
Katie was in a great mood today. She and I played and had a pillow fight. And she likes it when I swing her by her feet. This little trick has evolved from something less extreme when, a few weeks ago, Papa had picked her up by her feet hung her straight down. Pretty simple, but she loved it. From that, I now pick her up by her feet and whirl her in an up-and-down, high-thrill, dizzying and dazzling carnivalesque trick. It's exhausting.
Melissa took Katie to her first birthday party of the day, which was held at a dance studio. There, she dressed in a princess leotard and danced around with the other princesses. Melissa said that Katie had a fine time. They returned home from that party and Katie lay on the couch. She was pretty tired and wanted to rest. But there was little time for rest as we had to make haste and head to Chili's where we joined Nana and Little Papa. She fell asleep in the van on the 20-minute trip to the restaurant. To her credit, as exhausted as she was, she was very well behaved for the remainder of the evening. Encouraging.
After a nice Chili's dinner, we returned home with Nana and Little Papa for a birthday dessert of a decorated chocolate chip cookie. Katie had been waiting to dig into it all day. She wasn't disappointed with it, and even stole a couple of bites of cookie from Nana, the birthday girl.
After dessert and gifts, Katie grabbed our camera, for whatever reason, and decided that she wanted to take pictures. Here are her first ever photographs:
First Photo: "Nana"
"Nana With Wand"
"Little Papa"
"Daddy and Little Papa"
