When I woke up, mommy and daddy sang Happy Birthday to me and let me open my very first birthday present! WOW.....

I was so excited when I took my bath! I couldn't wait to see everyone and open presents!

A whole cake all to myself.....it was yummy!

I got to spend the day with all of my friends! We cruised around in the wagon my grandpa Garretson bought me!

I loved my first birthday!

So there we were, strolling along in downtown Lodi, when all of the sudden, mommy said to daddy, "Hey, we should get Leiya's ears pierced." Daddy replied, "Yes, my beautiful wife, we should, then no one would confuse her for a boy...that's a wonderful idea!" No one bothered asking me what I thought....guess I better get used to it.....
