Today we took Eva to Adam’s Farm to play int he pumpkins. I was very surprised to see so many people at the place. I think maybe we went at a later part of the season the last time we went to the farm. Actually we went earlier in the season as I just checked the photo gallery. So this was the first time that we took Eva. We let her crawl around and play on the pumpkins. I got some nice shots of her having a good time. We also got some goat food and fed the goats and the calf. The goat food was in an ice cream cone. As I was feeding the goat the cone was bitten in such a way that it pretty much exploded in my hand. I jumped.

After that we went over to our friend’s house for Chili and S’mores. Allison made a white chili with chicken and our friend Amy made the traditional meat chili. We also had little corn bread muffins, oyster crackers, cheese dip and nacho chips. It was a very tasty evening that was finished off with some S’mores Nachos.

Also at dinner I showed my friend Ryan my iTouch and he had just gotten one too. then one of Allison’s friend’s boyfriend showed us his as well. We compared applications and had some geeky fun. I even showed them how to add a blog to the Home Screen, especially one with a Blog Icon. In between we played Guitar Hero on the Wii. We did the Guitar Hero 3 version and the Aerosmith version as well.

Now it is getting late so it is time for nighty night, sleepy sleeps.

Today we had every new parent’s right of passage, the 1st birthday party. The 1st birthday party is that one where everyone is invited and everyone wants to come. It is the party where the baby gets to try cake for the 1st time and lots of fun and cute things happen. Eva was no different, she charmed everyone who came to visit and enjoyed the heck out of her cake and ice cream. Our house was packed to standing room only.

The party started at 1:00 and we filled the place with aunts, uncles, cousins, kids, babies, sisters, brothers, friends and grandparents. At 1:30 we got the pizza delivery. Pizza and cake was the easiest thing to do, because pizza can be eaten standing up and the wide variety of toppings makes there something for everyone. We also had a couple of salads as well.

After lunch we put Eva in her high chair and brought out the cake. We got a Winnie the Pooh cake form BJ’s, they make some nice cakes and decorate them well. At first Eva was more about cookies than cake and pushed the cake away. Allison tried a different tack and gave her some ice cream instead. For ice cream I picked up Hoodsie cups. So much easier than scooping ice cream. Plus, They’re Hoodsie Cups!

We had a wonderful day and Eva was a star of the show. She’s actually still up right now, we think she might be cutting a tooth, of course she’s gotten her second, sugar high, wind.

Here are a bunch more photos from her 1st birthday party.
