Happy Birthday Ansley!

Today I went to my friend Ansley's first birthday party. I really like going to her house because her mommy lets me blow bubbles on anything I want to and her daddy even thinks it's funny. They even clean the windows and tables BEFORE I get there, so I can have a fresh canvas to work with! Plus they gave me all the balloons I wanted, which Mommy never would have allowed. :o)

We had a lot of fun playing in the pool even though it was hot and sunny. It made me sneeze quite a few times. But then one of the other babies, Eliza, dunked my hat in the water and put it back on my head. So that cooled me off pretty quickly! Daddy set the umbrella up so we could be in the shade, and then I had a lot more fun. Ansley and her cousin Diego were playing in the pool with us too!

Ansley's birthday party theme was cupcakes, cupcakes, and more cupcakes! They were everywhere, even a ton of mini cupcakes on a table for kids to decorate themselves.

Of course, I had no interest in that. I was more interested in the zebra toy that we brought for Ansley but I was pretty sure it was mine. Apparently, mine was still at home! I was good and did not ride Ansley's until she tried to do it herself. She didn't really know what to do, so as soon as she moved, I crawled right over, climbed on, and started spinning around and around. And when Mommy said, "Emily--bouncy, bouncy!" I smiled and bounced up and down! Don't worry--I went right back to the balloons when I was done showing off what a big girl I am.



Ansley was very silly when she was eating her cupcake--at first she ate it without using her hands. I can understand because as a fellow princess, we do not like to get messy. But after a little while she dove right in.


Her mommy made the big cake look like a cupcake too. When they were posing for the family picture, they didn't notice that Ansley was digging her hand into the side of the cake. But oh well--it was her special day! And we all had fun!
