Well we haven't had one of these in a long time but Genevieve has had an amazing week of "firsts" these past seven days or so. Now these are not quite as cool as holding up her head on her own or even walking but they are important nonetheless :)
The week of firsts began with our (so really it is a familial first) first week of taking care of the chickens as part of the alleyway chicken coop we have joined. Evie loves her girls and every morning and evening was raring to go as soon as we uttered the chicken word. The firsts kept rolling in when on Thursday night she was in her first parade, holding a purple balloon that said 2007 on it, for the opening ceremonies of the American Association of Birth Center's annual meeting. We paraded in to the tunes of her very first maraiachi band... man did that girl clap up a storm for those marachi kids!
The first, "first" of Saturday was not so appreciated by the babe... her first swimming lesson. I am sad to say that she cried for most of the time, the notable exception being the part where we blew bubbles in the water. Then on Saturday night, continuing the Latino firsts theme, we impromptu went to our neighbor's son's birthday in their backyard and Evie got to take her first swing at a pinata. Then, and this is perhaps the most exciting first of the weekend, Evie had her very first tootsie roll straight from the pinata...ohh yeah.
Finally on Sunday she went to her first little kid birthday party to celebrate Zev turning one! She played in the sandbox, hit a couple of shots of croquet and wore a birthday hat (and of course ate a little cake) All in all it was a fun filled first-type fiesta all week long!
