Birthday wrap-up

Blaise's first birthday was great! She got a very cool riding toy.

And blew out one candle (with help from Dad).


On her delicious dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, frosting-free, fat-free birthday cake. I know, what's left, right? It was actually pretty good. I decided to risk wheat flour, so we didn't go fully allergen-free, but no apparent problems so far. (Huge thanks to Isa at the Post Punk Kitchen for answering my silly vegan baking question.) Blaise enjoyed it, both as a food and to rub in her hair.

Thanks to all of you for your comments, love and support over the last year. We never would have made it this far alone and it was wonderful to know how many people were cheering for our girl. One year down, 90-some to go!
