Not the 1st birthday we planned

The sweet girl was sick on her birthday.  In fact, W also awoke with an ear infection.  And daddy was out of town.  It was not a good day for anybody. 

 We postponed the party to the weekend; however, she ran a 102 fever for 2 days.  By Friday night, she was only running a 100 degree fever so we decided to have the party. 

Here's the girl all decked out for the festivities.  

Here's her #1 cake.  I usually plan the party meal around what the kids like, but she doesn't really eat any table food except french fries.  I decided to not have a dinner around french fries.  Anyhow, she didn't feel like eating much.  She nibbled a little yogurt and that was enough for her.

I was optimistic that she might like the cake, but alas she threw it on the floor.  She is a picky eater and she did not feel well so the deck was stacked against the cake.  Oh well!  The rest of us enjoyed the strawberry cake made from our fresh picked berries.

The boys bought her a baby doll.  She loves this doll.  Her face lights up when she plays with it.  After this, she started to have a meltdown.  We called the party over and put her to bed at 6:30pm.  We will have to continue the festivities another day.  

Thankfully, she felt much better by Saturday.  Her appetite is still lacking, but we are on the mend.
