When Isla called out for me in the morning, I greeted her with a "Happy Birthday" solo which caused her to grab the crib rail and begin gleefully jumping up and down. Next came breakfast on the special birthday plate. Isla picked up on it real fast and kept repeating "Isla special!"
Daddy dyed her milk blue--this milk is weird! She downed the whole cup.
Next arrived a pancake with a "candle on" and another rendition of "Happy Birthday." We'd planned to take breakfast to-go and eat at a coffee shop since Isla often asks to go to the coffee shop. But this morning, when we asked her if she wanted to have pancakes at a coffee shop, she told us "No, pancakes at home." Ok fine but don't say we didn't try!
She's learning some extra cheesy faces for photo shoots.
Wouldn't ya know it, as soon as breakfast ended, someone asked to go to the coffee shop. Go figure! She got her first taste of chocolate milk and proceeded to ask for "other milk." Apparently she's not a fan!
Next stop: Peter Kirk Park for some time on the slides.
Look! My shadow waves back!
Whoa, we happened upon a strong air vent on the street. What fun!
Let's go to the "cool!"
Someone was getting a little tired but wasn't about to stop.
I'm pretty sure her sunscreen "massage" could have put her to sleep--she loves back rubs and ask for them often!
Perked back up again and ready for a picnic. APPLESAUCE!
Her Daddy had been dying to take her to the "peanut pool" at Green Lake, a fond memory of his as a kid. Needless to say, it was a hit.
The birthday girl crashed for a nap at home and then enjoyed a outdoor dinner of roasted chicken, zucchini fritters, polenta (made by her Daddy) and a green salad with strawberries and goat cheese courtesy of our last-minute dinner guests, Jason and Earecka. Meanwhile, her mommy was experiencing some serious contractions and was nervous the party was going to end early. 
And for birthday dessert? Homemade frozen yogurt with raspberries and blueberries! She ate every last drop.
Happy, happy birthday sweet Isla girl!
Love it! What a special day!!
