I went in to wish her good morning & happy birthday and she greeted me with a kiss
I figured I needed to do something special, rather than just roam the mall. Today was her day–let’s head to the zoo. First shock of all–she kept the hat on the entire time we were there! Anyone who knows Jamayia knows she h-a-t-e-s wearing a hat. Hmmm, must be no coincidence that the word “hate” starts with the word “hat”. She enjoyed the sun, the heat and the cool mosquito repellant (hence the oil in the pic). She loves staring up at the Winnie the Pooh statue and wouldn’t even look at the camera.
The we headed home in hopes of a much deserved & much needed nap. No dice for me! So, instead we headed to Wal-Mart on a quick run and back home. Then Mommy set up for the extrememly mini-party. The real party is on Sunday, but you’ve gotta do something on the actual birth date itself. After all, you only turn 1 once.
The very tired Jamayia did well, acting like the little princess she is. She was all smiles at one point. 
She wasn’t a big fan of the whole candle thing. I’m sure that’ll change in a few years. Mind you, she did enjoy seeing the smoke after the candle was blown out. Actually, she was trying her best to catch the smoke. Wow, that year sure flew by. Hard to believe that it was only 1 year ago that I was in a loonnnngggggggg labour, anticipating the arrival of a little baby. Here’s to many more, my darling!
Yes, my loyal reader fans, there will be pics coming from Sunday!
