We celebrated Griffin's first First Birthday Party yesterday. Since G Dawg is a bi-coastal (not to be confused with bi-curious) boy, we hosted an Oakland fete Saturday afternoon. It was a veritable "Who's Who" of Bay Area Babies, notably Lilah and Trinity, and a variety of grown-ups and a dog. Griffin wowed all of the guests with his impressive toddling skills and his utter disinterest in opening presents. Check back next year to see if Little G has gotten the gift-shredding bug that seems to afflict 99.9% of all children.
At no point during the party did Griffin scream or bang his head on the floor, so I consider the event a success!
Griffin and his betrothed. They are very nonchalant about their future arranged marriage.
Griffin's frequent playdate, Trinity M. (Griffin and Lilah are in an "open betrothal" and we encourage them to have playdates with other babies.)
Ave, Sam and Lilah trucked it in to the East Bay for the occasion. Lilah smiled at Jake, nursed frequently and spit up on Andie, so I take that to mean she was having a good time.
Joell got us the cutest little cake at Whole Foods. You could tell someone was excited to get to decorate the cake with bugs, the sliced almond wings on the bees were too adorable. The cake was chocolate and the icing was cream cheese and only used natural colors. We don't want Griffin's first experience with refined sugar to be too wild. He didn't eat much cake, though, he preferred to massage a cupcake and rub the buttercream into his scalp.
