This was Queenie a year ago:
This was Queenie on her birthday:
Getting her new present, which is an awesome candy apple red piano. Q loves music. She’s such a rock star. Drums, guitars, music boxes, pianos, maracas, this cool, jazzy music-making play table from LeapFrog — if it makes music, she’s in. She sings, she dances, and she claps along.
In light of that, we had a music themed party for her:
I made those cupcakes myself. Which means Q also learned the joys of beater-licking when it came to mama’s homemade cream cheese frosting:
Why yes, she is wearing a ghost shirt with space explorer pants. Because my baby is going to be a total SFF nut, if I have anything to do with it.
(She actually owns three entirely different sets of space explorer pajamas, though only two of them glow in the dark. Priorities, people.)
Wow, guys. A year. How in the world did that tiny little thing get from there to here? Oh, right, I remember:

Those little ‘2 Months’ ‘3 Months’ photo decorations may possibly be the most adorable thing I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. Even more than the musical themed cupcakes. Are you trying to kill us here? *Staggers away, stunned by cuteness*

Happy Birthday, kid!
And Diana, I can help you turn her into a total SFF nut. Would you like some book recommendations?

What a gorgeous girl! She’s clearly going to be just as pretty as her mama.
I love the candy-apple red piano. I’m so glad she’s musical. And (hopefully) a SFF fan. I hope she’ll like contemps, too? =)
Great job with the cupcakes and the decorations. I want to come to a party at your house!
Happy birthday, Q!
