firsts.

yesterday was a day of firsts.  

the group of people i hang out with is kind of an older crowd, at least compared to me.  many of them are more than five years older than me, ranging all the way to the 50th birthday party i went to last weekend.  yesterday, our friends that had the first baby in our group of friends, threw a birthday party for their baby, her first birthday.  it was so strange, seeing this baby grow into a little person, realizing that now she has visible thoughts and emotions other than tears.  it was hilarious to watch her play with the toy we got her--a piano that makes noise by hitting chimes (no batteries! haha!!)--and watch her figure out melodies and cause/effect.  crazy.  i was so glad to be a part of that huge "first":  her first birthday, her parents realizing that they've been parents for an entire year, just moving into their first house.  it was a big deal for them.  so cool.

me?  i baked a pie.

hey, there's a first time for everything, be it birthday cakes, or pies.
