Ocia completed her first year on Friday, June 26 2009. We decided that it was as much of a celebration for Erik and I surviving our first year as parents! She is such a delight right now. Here are some photos from her special days, we celebrated on Friday and Saturday both!
This is Ocia opening her packages from Nana...lots of adorable new clothes!
We chose the festive green and white polka dots for the big day.
Playing in the park with our new friend Stefania, our yoga teacher.
This is our motley crew of pals that we see everyday in the park down the street. Umberto, on the right, is teaching me Italian. Slowly.
Our neighbor, Giussepina, gave Oci a pink ball and made her a plum tart!
Who wouldn't want to kiss this vision in polka dots?
First taste of banana gelato....yummmmm.
Very cold. Strange. I think I like it.
The Birthday Girl in her throne.
I love my birthday sweet potatoes!
The Many Faces of Ocia. This one leaves me speechless.
Always so happy to be with her dad. Out shopping for toys!
Being serenaded by Dad.

Such a sweet birthday girl! Glad she enjoys her daddy's serenade. What a beautiful plum tart. The gelato made us swoon to be there:)
