Little Feat


Align Center

Here is Cece picking up the pace of her stepping a few days ago. Now she can make it from the living room to the dining room with no stopping or furniture cruising. Yes, I know we are days away from full on running! Enjoy the video and note at the end when my singing and cheering evidently hurts Cece's ears.

She and Her Shadow

A few weeks back the sun actually paid us a visit and warmed up a Sunday afternoon. Off we went to the park for what turned out to be our last lounge in the grass of the season. As always, Cece could not get enough of Daddy ... and Mommy couldn't get enough pictures.

Love this one.

Daddy's girl, indeed!

The Icing on the Cake

First birthday celebrations are pretty special and this one was no exception. Cece enjoyed all the fun and festivities. But most of all, having out of town family visiting and being joined by our neighbors was truly the icing on the cake. How sweet it was!

Mommy and Daddy pause for a photo op while Cece wriggles her way closer to her first sugary experience.

Cece wonders why we are all singing while something is clearly on fire.

Cece didn't make a wish, but we did.

Cece takes little, ladylike bites of her big slice.

While the crowd wonders why Cece is not diving in, Mommy forks over a bigger bite.

Daddy takes over and shows Cece how its done.

Time for presents!

Cece enjoys part of her Hide and Squeak eggs toy while Alexann keeps an eye on her.

Godmother Serena helps Cece with her new butterfly.

Cece tells our neighbor Micki how much fun she is having.

Nana Kissi has a picture taken instead of taking pictures ... for once!

Cece's first and favorite babysitter, Cathie gets big giggles from the birthday girl.

While Kellan works on his second piece of cake, Jessica, Riley, Ryan and George smile for a Pierce family picture.
Serena, Clarisse and Alexann enjoying their visit. Thank you for flying here to be with us!

The party is almost over but Cece still has plenty to be joyful about.
Special thanks to Nana Kissi, Serena and Clarisse for all these photographs. And to Mom-mom Judy for making the trip from PA to be with us, too.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, CECELIA!
