Shae Turns One!

To my credit I'm not entirely a slacker -- my computer (or internet connection) have not been cooperative -- but it has been a while since we've posted some photos... so let's get started!

Shae's most favoritest thing nowadays is standing up. She still requires some kind of assistance (a table, a chair, a wall, etc.), but she's *thisclose* to being on the go-go-go. She loves to shimmy over to the back door when the dogs are outside and knock on the window. Considerate gal she is.
First birthday card received from Grams and Gramps!
Hehe. Birthdays are fun!
Awesome card, Grams and Gramps -- thanks!
First birthday present from Aunt Peg, Uncle Mike and Maggie!
Kiss-kiss for the prezzy!
Back off, mama -- I can do this unwrapping thing myself!
Pretty new gear -- thanks!
See the aforementioned comment about standing up. The fridge is a favorite practice area.
Birthday party madness! Shae was a little unsure about her hat...
...but then cake arrived!
Dude. That's CAKE!
O lovely chocolate cake, how I love thee.
Chocolate cake and milk... is there anything better?
Nom nom nom.
The face of happiness.
Time for presents! Shae started out very interested an engaged in the process...
What in the world is in there?!
Her interest and engagement quickly waned. Balloons!
People!
Back again -- this one involved ripping and tearing, so that's cool.
Emma helped show Shae the awesomeness of her new toy.
Streeeeeeeeeeetch....
Kyle took over the camera briefly and took some liberties on creative photography.
Emma shows Shae how to properly rock on her new rocking pony.
Shae hanging out with her pal, Jim.
Some additional time and practice will be needed to warm up to the rocking pony. It whinneys and neighs and shakes its tail and head -- all very concerning things for the 1-year-old set.

It would appear that the chocolate cake was a HUGE success!

Happy Birthday Shae!
