Well, that was the fastest year ever! This past Sunday, our baby Campbell turned 1 year old. The celebration actually began a couple of weeks prior, when we had an early celebration with Grandmommy and Granddaddy (who were in Alaska being rugged for the actual day).
Although Campbell looked pretty stoic when she saw her first cake, she seemed to warm up upon actual consumption.
Campbell's birthday weekend began with a visit to the California Academy of Sciences, a marvelous place that includes a rainforest dome and an aquarium. We took Fiona there for her 1st birthday, too, so it's becoming something of a tradition. The difference between the two girls couldn't have been more clear; while Fiona was riveted on the fish (this is not just an age thing; it applies both to this visit and when she was 1), Campbell -- as these pictures show -- just wanted to MOVE.
But there were some moments of equal fascination.
And Fiona also developed an affection for the turbo-hand-dryers.
Campbell's actual birthday began with presents and pancakes. Among her favorite gifts were the stroller and baby doll that Fiona had picked out for her and bought with her own piggy bank money (and which were swifty re-appropriated by Fiona!).
There were also balloons.
That afternoon, we invited our friends and neighbors, Elisa and her baby sister Addy, over for cake and playtime. Note Fiona playing the big girl and trying to wrangle the little ones into the photo!
Elisa and Addy also gave Campbell (and by extension, Fiona) a wonderful gift: a shopping cart!
Amazing to think that this was Campbell 1 year ago:
