Munchkin's 1st Birthday!

Munchkin is official a 1 year old-- that's toddler territory.  We celebrated by taking her to the aquarium-- we were going to go to the zoo, but it was kinda chilly outside and threatening rain, so we went to the aquarium instead. 

Munchkin loved the fishies!  Sort of... at first she was terrified of them.  We figured she didn't realize there was glass seperating those huge floating creatures (that were sometimes bigger than her) from her.  She clung to her Daddy's shirt for dear life.  After the first few exhibits, though, she figured it out and really started to enjoy herself.

Her favorites were the seahorses, and the octopus.  She tried to touch a string ray's wing, but the water was too deep for her little arms to reach, so she just splashed lightly in the water for a bit.

Then we hung out by the penguins and watched them shoot poo into the water... munchkin wasn't impressed. (Sorry, we don't have pics of the aquarium; we forgot out camera.)

We had lunch at Arby, and Munchkin got her first kid's meal-- chicken tenders, applesauce, and juice. I think her favorite was the BBQ sauce. Then we came home and had cake and ice cream. 

Wish our families could have been her to share this special day.  Know that we love you and miss you. 

Oh, and munchkin wanted to give you something...
