Partay

We had our first party since Dalia was born, and what an occasion for it - Dalia and Mark's birthday! It was mostly just for Dalia with a billion little girls running around or crawling around and boy was it fun! Dalia had a pumpkin spice cupcake with cream cheese frosting. I made them, though they did have sugar, sugar, sugar in them. She made it through with just a diaper rash for a few hours. What a weird rite of passage. In any case, thanks to everyone for making her b-day so special. For someone who's shelves were filled with library books the other day, she now has a giant personal library of her own. She also got this super cute chair from her Grammy N. and she's been wanting to do little else but read books in or by her chair all day.
