so here are many more photos of pilar's first birthday. we had such a great day! we started out having breakfast together, then getting pilar in the car to go to stanley park, and as she was now one she could sit in her car seat facing forward. sergio took her down to the car before me, and surprised me, i had actually forgotten about changing the car seat to forward facing. when I saw her like that i started to cry, how can my BABY already be one, and facing forward! she was very amused by the new perspective!
after stanley park, we came home and put her down for her nap while we got ready for her birthday party. around 4pm family started showing up, my mom and mark, and my sister heather and her husband todd. heather got pilar a few pairs of pajamas, and my mom and mark got her a new winter vest and an egg chair from ikea, which to this day pilar absolutely LOVES. if you are considering one for a child, i can say without a doubt that this chair is FUN. is swivels 360 degrees, which is fun, but the cocoon shade adds an element of imagination. pilar spends hours in here pulling the shade up and down, up and down. we have added the ikea sheepskin to keep it extra cozy now that it's winter.
lots of friends turned up for the party, including some friends pilar's own age! lucy and kiera came along, and the babies all enjoyed playing with pilar's gifts. here are some of the highlights in case you are looking for some gifts for kids this Christmas.
