Erika's Birthday

Erika turned ONE on Tuesday, February 16, 2010. We skipped playgroup that morning (we'd had a bit of a rough night anyway!) and hit the shops! I also weighed Erika - 7.3kgs, and 69cm long. She's long and skinny, like her Mummy. When Daddy got home from work, we opened some presents:


Erika got lots of lovely things....

Kira had fun helping her little sister unwrap the gifts:


This one was from us - a shopping trolley! Kira thinks it's hers, though. It plays music, helps teach counting, colours, shapes, sorting, role-playing...the girls love it!

Here's Erika getting into it (on another day) - she's starting to get up on her knees more now! She can even stand for a few seconds whilst holding onto something (if you put her on her feet to start with).

I made cupcakes for Erika's birthday, too, but these ones were chocolate "Cherry Ripe" ones (choc, cherry and coconut), and they were HEAVENLY! (If I do say so myself!) Kira helped Erika blow out her candle:

Erika wasn't too sure what to make of the cake. Not the same texture as her usual food (still not a fan of bread at this stage, but getting better with it now), but fabulous for making a mess with!
