We had lots of fun at Matthew's first birthday party today! Benjamin got to meet a lot of new friends, human and non. An animal show was put on, and it was excellent! I think I had more fun than most of the kids there. Ben especially liked hugging an alligator, but looked a little unsure about what to do with the desert fox, snake, and anteater. Check him out!

Hah! Let them try to wash off this grime with just a little soap and water. I worked quite hard to smother myself in just the right amount of grease and cookies!

Uh-oh, I think they may know what they're doing.

All right, I guess it's not so bad to be clean...

Check out my new top tooth!
I love when daddy tickles me :)

You're not making fun of me, are you dad?

So here's my strategy: I pile whatever toys I can find along the edge, climb up, and reach over! Someday soon, I'm going to figure out how to get out of this little prison...

Doing "viejita" with abuelo...

I love me my biter biscuits!!
