Birthday Cake! Birthday Cake!



Athena's new favorite word is "Birthday Cake" ever since she saw the one we bought for Nana in December. The weird thing is, she doesn't like to eat cake, having inherited Sally's lack of a sweet tooth (Thank God!). Still, she loves looking at birthday cakes and occassionally poking the frosting with her finger. (I'm not even sure she's aware it's food.)

The other weirdness, you really don't realize how many images there are of birthday cakes on TV, advertising, on the street, etc. until you have a two-year-old enthusiastically pointing each one out to you. They're frickin' everywhere!

At the Aquarium

Our other big trip when Nana and Aunt Judy visited was to the Long Beach Aquarium.

Athena loved the jellyfish...



as well as playing on the boat outside...



and hanging with her people.




Here's me and Judy keeping Zoe entertained while everyone else had a potty break.



And the first two generations try for a decent photo to go in the Xmas card.



And a special bonus photo with Aunt Judy and Zoe.
