I'm a Party Animal...Somebody Stop Me!!!

Today I attended my first Birthday party! My buddy Nico invited me, my mommy and daddy to help him celebrate turning the big number 1. Most of his family and some little friends all got together for a BBQ in their backyard. He has a lot of really neat toys that I had a lot of fun playing on.
Nico was showing me how to stand up and push his Elmo lawnmower. Then he grabbed his cousin's hair and she started to cry. For a change it wasn't me who was being told no for having a fist full of hair.
I didn't have cake, but I enjoyed some turkey hotdog, cheese and rice cereal with pears. It was a lot of fun. I especially loved the balloons. I really, really wanted to eat one, but for some reason it just wouldn't fit into my mouth like most things. Hmmmm...maybe next time.
Nico's mommy Joleen made him a chocolate monkey cake and he ended up mashing most of the monkey's ear on his face and in his hair. It was really cool!
I had a fantastic time and am so happy he invited me to his party!!!
I can't wait to through a 1st birthday bash of my own!
