On Elyse's birthday we had a great day. Grandma and Grandpa Schmidt were in town for Elyse's birthday so we decided to spend the morning at the pool. Elyse lounged, splashed and had a great time with her grandparents. We then went back to the house for lunch. For dessert Elyse had her first taste of ice cream. She wasn't too sure at first (perhaps because of how cold it was) but she seemed to like it. After ice cream, Elyse opened presents and then took a nap. In the afternoon we went to Gymboree which is always fun.
The Saturday following Elyse's birthday, we had a party. Her friends (and their parents) came over to play. We ate sandwiches and had some butterfly cake (which I made, thank you very much). She got some great presents, but it seemed like the thing she had the most fun with was a card made out of wrapping paper. She kept waving it around and putting it in her mouth. She had a great time with it.
Overall I think Elyse had a memorable first birthday.
