a first birthday party

on saturday eleanor went to her first birthday party held in honor of one of her baby friends. noa is the sweet one-year-old daughter of our friends matt and sarah. here's eleanor with the birthday girl playing with some girly things. they both wore gingham dresses and their party shoes.
last year when my office was in the library and adjacent to matt's, sarah would come by to visit often and we'd share pregnancy stories. jamie, a librarian, was also pregnant at the time and everyone suspected there was something in the water. here's jamie's baby, wythe, hanging out with e on the floor. it was amusing to watch the babies interact with each other. it mostly involved one baby taking away another's toy and then baby one taking it back again. good times!
sarah and rob keep an eye on the kiddies...

noa got to enjoy an important rite of passage for one-year-olds--her first taste of cake! we figured she was saving the frosting on her face and bib for later. shortly after this photo was taken, that cupcake was on the floor.

the party had a duck theme because noa loves the rubber ducky she gets to play with in the bath. her cake was topped with a line of little yellow ducks and each baby got to take one home as a party favor. think eleanor likes it?
