Celebrating Melanie's Big 5 at the National Zoo

Happy, happy birthday baby...


Birthday cookie from Mrs. Tracey & Mr. Ryan
It all started last night with a frantic search of the attic, the closets and every possible storage area for a particular gift that was hidden so well, even the birthday fairy couldn't find it. Thankfully, "all's well that ends well" and although the birthday fairy's about to drop, the gift was finally located and the birthday girl was none the wiser. The birthday fairy has almost decided that procrastination doesn't pay.

Sweetness
Baby girl woke to presents and cards at her place at the kitchen table and not a cloud in the sky!

This big fella just wanted to say "Happy Birthday!" too!

Mr. Jonathan was mesmerized
Almost as exciting as the snake!

Time to cool off!

Woo Hoo!
And now it all makes sense...

Mama & Daddy are feeling very envious of Mr. Red Panda

We are so proud of you Melanie Anne! You have come so far so quickly. You're learning so quickly and becoming such a lovely young lady. Mama, Daddy and big brother love you so much!

Happy Birthday!
