One

On March 30, this little beauty turned one.

 

Since it was during the week (and I wasn’t prepared), we celebrated with a little bit of ice cream instead of cake.

 

At first she wasn’t sure what to do.

 

But she had ideas. Mom had to intervene at this point to give some assistance.

 

Veronica is an expert at ice cream eating, and so lent a good example.

 

Somewhere in the middle of ice cream eating, Jacinta received a birthday phone call. Yay!

 

Then it was back to business.

 

There were lots of nooks and crannies to be excavated.

 

Then, this last weekend, we had a little party at the neighborhood park. Jacinta got to try her hand at some actual birthday cake.

 

She was a pro. She knew just where to put it.

“Look what I have! Cake!”

 

I can’t believe my little baby is one. Happy Birthday, Jacinta!
