Baby Liv Turns One: a play by play
We started off the day with a little surprise, compliments of Dad.
There was some jumping around in the background; at one point Madelyn accused London of "turning into the green-eyed monster," and thank you Berenstein Bears for that handy catch phrase. After a long conversation it has been established that both twins would like a sock monkey in a shopping cart for Christmas.
Also, it was raining, so we scratched our Zilker Park train ride plans and headed to the Hoppin' Hippo with cousins Gwen and Harry.
This time the kids weren't so much about the hoppin' as the costuming and playing house.
Who put High School Musical outfits in the costume boxes?
One of Liv's few smiles of the day. With the discovery of three teeth coming in, Liv's birthday was a mixture of tears, drool, and burying her face in mom's shoulder. Not even a new sweater could cheer her up, though the above activities did make for a nice long nap.
A pizza party and marble fudge cupcakes, attempt #2; attempt #1 at cupcakes having failed miserably around 11 pm last night upon my leaving out the eggs. Ever helpful Ryan happily sent me back to Walmart, seeing as he was burning the midnight oil on this school project, and needing some eggnog of the Halloween variety.
It was worth the trip for this face.
This shot perfectly illustrates her wings...
Same haircut as her Daddy.
Aunt Heather comes bearing gifts for our fashionistas...Halloween cats, in the nick of time for show and tell tomorrow.
Perfect accessory for London's upcoming (what was it again?)

I can't believe Baby Liv is one.

Happy Birthday Liv! Poor girl having to deal with teeth coming in :( but at least she looked adorable! Tell L&M I think I want a sock monkey and a shopping cart for christmas too! What a fun day--so crazy that she is ONE! And by the way, i would have given up on cupcakes after only one failed attempt! Good work following through :)
happy birthday Liv! I can't believe she is 1 year old! Where, oh where did the time go! Thanks for posting pictures so quickly...I enjoyed seeing her celebration!
Well we may not have gotten naps out of that fun filled day, but the teeth are a HUGE hit around here, I am pretty sure that Harry is carrying around a pair in each of his pockets, each time I run into him he has a different color in his mouth.
Gwen is sure that it was her birthday and not Liv's because she got the goodie bag. What a great party, and the cupcakes were so yummy. I didn't realize that you were forced back to the store for eggnog, that is classic Barlow boy for you. If James were eating like a normal person I am sure that kind of a thing would be standard procedure around here.
I love Liv's "wings", she is so darling. And so grown up. Hooray for year number one!! What a fun day for a fun girl.
