Sweet baby Jesus, has it been a year already?! Got me all verklempt…
Sorry, I’ve got nothing. No funny tales today… no poop jokes, no witty observations, and sadly, no stories about my national geographics. Although you’d be glad to know that things are perking back up… nipples high to the sky!
Y’all have been there with me since the beginning- the good, and the not so good- so I thought it only fitting that I share her first birthday with her cyber aunties! I kept it really low key and had a small gathering at my new shack home in Happy Valley last night. In attendance– Momma, Daddy, Syl, hubby, myself, and Boogie of course. We had an amazing time and a chance to reflect and give thanks. Check out the view!
It’s Muno!
Aunt Syl gave Gia her gift early. That thing, with his one big eye…
creepy as hell at night.
#helltothenaw
peep the one sock…
feeding Daddy…
Sugar. High.
She clowned for the next 3 hours. At least.
Thank you all for your continued moral support, advice, and stories as I go into this next phase of mommyhood.
For your viewing pleasure… the shenanigans of Boog and Syl!
Happy belated birthday Gia!!! I hope you have many more happy years to come and continue to be a blessing to your parents, family and all who see your adorable face!
But… where's my cake?? It looks so soft and yummy!
😀
Gosh, she looks angelic in that first picture. I can't believe that it has been a year already. Happy (belated) birthday!
*TEARS* I cannot believe it's been a whole year!
Happy Birthday Gia!!!
Happy Birthday Gia!!!
Nik, I hate those Yo Gabba Gabba things! They creep me out as well as that black man in that show. I used to be a nanny, and the boys loved that show. From the photos I see that Gia enjoyed that cake. Quoting those creepy Yo Gabba Gabba creatures "There's a party in her tummy!" Hahaha!
Happy Birthday G!!!! xoxoxo
Happy Birthday Gia, i wish you many many more wonderful birthdays with beautiful memories that will always put a smile on your face.
I love that 2nd photo, and lmao at 'party over hurr'-#flatline#
Awww, how precious!:) Happy Birthday Gia!:-D I can't believe it's been a year already! Nikki, thank you for sharing Gia's birthday party pics with us. It truly brought a smile to my face.
