Happy birthday, Laurel!

Happy first birthday to Laurel!

We celebrated small. She already had presents and cupcakes at her playgroup party on Wednesday, and she'll have more presents and cupcakes at her family party on Sunday. So tonight she had an oatmeal cookie and a single present, unwrapped! No candle, but we did sing.

The big plastic toy in this rather chaotic photograph was tonight's present (thank you, Craigslist). It's a combination walk-behind, ride-on, doll-strolling scooter. Laurel is not quite ready to walk or ride, though, which is why you can see my foot supporting her bottom! (You can also see Isaac's hands trying to balance a wooden train on the seat of the scooter. He was pretty excited about the scooter himself!)

Laurel may not be ready to use the scooter by herself, but she loved clutching the handle and seeing her new doll, Rose, looking back at her. (Rose was a Christmas present from my parents.) And she loved being pushed around the room on the scooter with the help of Isaac (and me). Her feet don't quite touch the floor!
