Abi's First Birthday

Sunday, August 10, 2008

So our little girl is now 1 year old, and a wonderful year it has been.

We celebrated a few days early at Aje and Nancy's home and to put an exclamation point on the party Abi took her first (completely unassisted, or spotted) steps!

The party had most of the usual American trimmings (food, birthday cake, and the song "happy birthday"), but we did miss our family from America on the occasion. To make up for it we had people from (at least) 4 different nations - Thailand, Burma, America and New Zealand. It seems like this international audience will be the norm for Abigail in this strange, wonderful life we lead.

Here is a video of the party, some antics at home leading up to the party and of course those famous first steps. Enjoy!


If you download the videos, I recommend using VLC player to view them.

It's ok to have bad parenting moments, we all do, just don't let her put it in her mouth! Good to hear about your life. When will you be in the states again?
