Since Sutton couldn't walk yet, she insisted on crawling everywhere and on everything! She could climb up to any surface so it was quite a challenge keeping her from getting hurt. Now that she's walking we're trying to keep herself from getting hurt since her mind seems to think that she can run, but her balance and coordination aren't quite there yet.
Suttton with her panda birthday cake that Maggie made for her. She, similarly to Salem at her first birthday, had limited interest in her cake.
Of course, the little interest she did have had to be in the black frosting! 
The terrific big sister enjoying the party.
If we had to describe Sutton's personality with just one picture this would be it.
Sutton is finally comfortable enough with the grass to crawl on it.
Watch out Usain Bolt! Sutton's practicing her race-starting position! 
Salem enjoying her favorite item out of her party favor bag.
We ended the evening with our own Olympic trials. The racers included (from far to near) Aaron, Wade, Kaden, Ana, Eddie, Parker, Drue, Bassam, Patty, Sakshi, Tamy, and Maggie (behind the camera). Heat #1 was won by Drue. Bassam edged the rest of the field out to win heat #2.

Happy Birthday again, Sutton! Looks like a perfect summer party. Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!September 6, 2008 at 8:50 AMHey Sutton when your cake looks that good I wouldn't eat it either. Nice work Maggie. I think Drew has some competition in the kitchen, when it comes to baking.
