Olivia had her 1st birthday last weekend, and due to it being on Easter Saturday we decided to keep the celebrations low key and just have the family who were available, up to celebrate. She had a great day, enjoyed eating cake (something not really familiar to her) and lapped up the attention. Olivia takes life at full-throttle, so her birthday was no different, having not that long ago experienced Christmas, she was experienced at gift opening and paper crinkling - although Ellen was a keen onlooker willing to lend assistance if able.
Hard to believe that she's one already - we've had a great first year together, and the older the two girls get, the better they play with one another - they are hysterical to watch at times! Sometimes it's rather dangerous for onlookers as they chase each other around the house, yard or wherever else they may be...and Olivia's still not quite walking yet, so the pace will pick up I'm sure.
The second photo was taken at the local park - Olivia is a daredevil on all the equipment, which keeps me on my toes. She's more than happy to head up or down slides with little care to personal safety - catching a few onlookers who don't know her off-guard. Still, that's one of the things most endearing about Olivia, so we're keen to see her apply that same passion to other important areas of her life as she grows.
...of course I may be completely grey by then, but I guess that's a small price to pay!!
