Presents and ice cream

Derek had been out of town for several days at a conference, but got back just in time for celebrating Addy's birthday. Yay! Apparently Addy missed her daddy a lot because after dinner and a Skype chat with Aunties Katie and Rachel, she snuggled up on his lap and fell asleep for the night. So ice cream and presents had to wait until today.

We did presents this morning:


I'm hoping that now that she's getting pretty good at using her wheels, Addy will have some fun shooting hoops with her new basketball hoop and balls while she's in her stander.


We (okay, I) decided that cake might be a little more texture than Miss Sunshine could handle--she gagged on a small bite of angel food cake not that long ago--so we opted for chocolate ice cream instead. And since you only have chocolate ice cream to celebrate your first birthday once, we went ahead and had dessert first tonight at dinner. It turns out that ice cream is very very cold, and not very easy to pick up with your fingers.
