Okay, so it's not her first birthday but her first attendance at an organized social gathering celebrating her sister's second birthday.. (whew!). The only slightly exhausting activity for a baby at these functions is to tolerate being passed from set-of-arms to set-of-arms. As a mum, I enjoyed the freedom. Also on this day, we had a silent celebration of being a whole month old - and the entire family being rested enough to enjoy it! Be it luck or be it genetics, the wee one is sleeping a solid 5 - 6 hours at a time during the night and we couldn't be more thrilled. Of course, I have to endure huge uncomfortable breasts as the trade off but hey, what's a little discomfort after enduring childbirth anyhow??
