Fern Turns One

We had a little pool party for Fern and some of her baby friends. Our friends Joon and Jackie hosted it at their pool. We even had a pinata full of goodies for the babes. (We'll be making that one a tradition...dang it's fun to swing at a pinata!:)) Fern had her first taste of cake and she gobbled it up. It was a yellow millet cake with strawberry sauce on top. If it's possible for cake to be healthy, this was it. It was actually good, to boot.

Pillaging the goodies from the wreckage.

Millet cake!

I busted it open. :)

Auntie Alisha takes a few swings.

Swimming babies!

I think Luminous was skeptical of the whole pinata act.

Fern even had a turn.

All of the babies. Mariana, Fern, Luminous and Xavier.

I took these pictures of her on her birthday:

Best Buds

Fern has a new best friend. As some of you already know, we have acquired Sam, the infamous snake detector dog, as our pet. Fern loves him, and I am sure it will be reciprocated as she grows older and stops grabbing handfuls of skin and hair. He is sometimes gentle, but can be dangerous. (See video below). He is a GREAT dog and we have been honored to take him into our family despite all of his hair that ends up in Fern's bowels.

*sidenote: Yay! My camera is back, so I will start taking pictures for Flickr again!
