Matilda starts her day by listening to several rousing versions of Happy Birthday over the speakerphone. She was very attentive (read appreciative) to each birthday call from all the family and friends.
While it is not uncommon to be caught pant-less on your birthday, Matilda was found in that state much earlier in the day than typical.
For her daily new skill, she mastered the art of climbing off the rocking dog at Tot Time, after being placed their repeatedly by her mother.
She took time to stop and smell the blooming trees with Grammy. This pursed lips face, accompanied by a rapid in and out sucky-sounding breath is Matilda's version of smelling.
Yummy burrito for lunch with Daddy in Tarzana.
A hard nap to re-charge for the evenings' celebrating. She is sprawled out here after falling asleep in the Ergo on a walk. I dumped her on the bed and then joined her for almost 2 hours repose!
Matilda got her favorite food, soup, for her birthday dinner. And a fun round of Peek-a-boo.
The obligatory cake shot. She was too in awe of the candle to even attempt blowing.
This dietitian's daughter had cake four days in a row. Not that anyone would be counting.
And then some delicious soapy bathwater to wash down the chocolate raspberry mousse cake (from our favorite neighborhood bakery).
And finally another round of present opening. She showed her appreciation for this thoughtful wrapping paper with her panty-dog face. We took her presents slow so she could enjoy it and might finally be done now after a full week of nightly presents. That is until we visit the Arizona family who will undoubtedly spoil her more in two weeks.
