Tuesday was Riley’s first birthday (January 9). I’m not sure she was really that excited about it, but everyone else sure was!! She got tons of birthday phone calls, emails and even packages. Lucky girl!<\/p>\n

We were still in Cambridge, which means Riley had her first bithday in the same house where I celebrated my first birthday. We had a little birthday dinner of pasta with some of her favorite veggies (squash, zucchinni), followed by Riley’s first taste of chocolate in the form of a cupcake with chocolate frosting. She didn’t seem super impressed by the chocolate, but did really enjoy the little flower sprinkles on top.<\/p>\n

It looks like her favorite part of us singing “Happy Birthday” was the flame on her cupcake (three candles made the flame extra big). Her birthday loot also included an Elmo balloon<\/a> and a red flowery stick thingy<\/a>. Not too shabby! <\/p>\n
