Today, my baby Saya turned one year old. We did not have a big party but had a nice family time to celebrate her birthday. We had a cake (which I got for free from QFC!) and sang happy birthday to her with one little candle standing in the middle. Of course, she had to wear the "I am one" party hat, the very same hat Aly wore on her birthday. She didn't make a huge mess (her brother Noah did! oh my!) but she liked the whipped cream off the edge and helped herself to the sponge part all by herself.
After the cake, we took the kids to the Issaquah Zoo since it was nice out. The last time we went there was when Sean was 7 weeks old, the very week he started to flash tons of social smiles at anyone. They have random collection of animals from tigers to African cranes, and it is an itty bitty zoo. It's a nice size though for very young children and the kids had a blast looking at the animals. Aly and Sean liked looking at the tigers and they thought that they are big kitties (well, that's true). Noah liked looking at the parrots as they made lots of noise. Saya was just wide-eyed and sat quietly in the stroller.
We then went to our favorite pizza joint in downtown Issaquah to have supper. Mike and I like it because it reminds us of Boise, a good thick dough with lots gourmet of toppings and of course the beers on the tap! Kids behaved well mostly and we were just amazed that we are actually dining in a restaurant with all four children. At one time though, Aly decided to scream like she saw a ghost for no apparent reason and the restaurant fell silent for a fraction of second. Maybe no napping had something to do with it. Saya liked their bread sticks and she was just munching them away in the stroller.
We had a really good day and took lots of pictures. I hope to look at the photos with Saya in the future and tell her about the fabulous day we had.
Oh and one more thing. Since she is one now, she can face forward in her car seat!! Yeah!! I was looking forward to it because the car seat takes up a lot of space when facing backward. A small thing, but it makes me happy!
