Maile’s First First Birthday

by Papa K on June 7, 2010

Maile girl is about a month away from her first birthday. Since we won’t be able to celebrate with Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal on Maile’s actual birthday, they decided to throw Maile a mini-party here on Hawaii. Consider it a kick off to the festivities complete with presents and Maile’s first taste of ice cream!

All of these? For me?

Thank you Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal for all my fun gifts!

After the presents it was time for the ice cream. Very early on (before Maile was even born I believe), Grandpa Cal requested that he be the one to first introduce Maile to ice cream. We thought that was a great idea and all agreed that her first birthday would be the right time to start developing her sweet tooth.

Here’s take #1 of Maile trying ice cream for the first time (yes, it took multiple takes…):

Clearly didn’t go as smooth as we were hoping – after a utensil correction, we nailed it on take #2:

Still not wildly in love with the ice cream – although I will say she warmed up to it a bit after we put the camera down. I guess for now we’ll leave it as a TBD whether she develops her Grandpa’s love of ice cream!
