Malena's 1st Birthday

The day before Malena's birthday party we were hanging out in the hammock enjoying the nice weather.

Malena's Birthday Party!

The weather was beautiful and all of our favorite people came for Malena's party.

Here we are opening all of her presents. Actually I was opening them with the help of all the older kids, Malena was walking around playing with all the wrapping paper.

Our very good friends Doris, Sarah and Mike

In this picture everyone is singing 'Happy Birthday' to Malena

Here she is getting her first taste of frosting

And she is going for it!

Yeah! Is that a baby? Can't tell from all the frosting!

Papa is trying to get her cleaned up.

Trip to Seattle

We all went to Seattle for Taste WA. Juan worked and Malena and I got to hang out. Here she is checking out downtown Seattle from our hotel room. I think she is looking at Nordstrom's or maybe Tiffany's......

I bought an enormous chocolate chip cookie and Malena and I shared it. Here she is just getting started.

She did actually get some of the cookie into her mouth.

One happy baby.....

And here is the aftermath of eating a chocolate chip cookie. She's laughing (not crying) and as you can see by the floor, she has been having some fun.
