51 weeks, 1st birthday party!!

 impromptu picnic with the girls after the famers' market on a Tuesday morning

 chicken and potatoes and mandarins... yum!

 In true Alameda fashion a nearby neighbor left a chest of dress up clothes on the curb with a free sign. This little princess was more than happy to swoop them up!

 Juicy staying warm in Juni's bed

 She got her pants off by herself for the first time so then she wanted to take her shirt off too! I feel the naked stage coming!!!

 And then, of course, she wanted to play peek a boo with her pants :)

 Juni got a speical treat from our friend Sherry! She was so excited!

 This was her I'm so happy face..

 and then her I'm so happy I'm going crazy face :)

 Play time with giraffe mask

 ...and a little kitty too!!

 sleeping with her booty in the air

 cheese!

 Mama, I know I just got my haircut today, but I just woke up from my nap, and I don't feel like having my picture taken. Poor Juni!

 Sassy face, once she woke up! :)

 hugging her very own pretend Juicy

 This girl got dressed all by herself! Shirt, undies, pants, socks, and running shoes! So proud of her! And so proud that she's proud of herself!!

 Playing peek a boo with Juicy!

!

 51 weeks!

Loving peek a boo and waving and saying "Hi!" or "Bye bye!"

Standing up in the middle of the room and clapping.

Holding and hugging her baby, bunny, and Juicy.

Dancing and swaying to music.

 such a big girl

 you can see the back of Juni peeking out on the bed

sisters playing :)

She was determined to NOT look at me for her picture..... so I've shown you all the ways she can avoid looking......

 party favors for the kids :)

 my little foxy girl

 Grandma is here to visit! Hooray!

 my favorite pose of avoidance today :)

 post nap, with rest, not avoiding eye contact

 And then, I get a straight on SMILE!, and it's BLURRY! AGH!! hahaha

 Juni woke up!!! Hooray!!!! Time to open gifts!!

 She loves her wooden train!

 Sad we couldn't have all of our family here, but thankful for the friends we have!

I was so happy with the bee I made for Juni I wanted something just as special for Genevieve. I am really happy with how her fox turned out!!!
