We're getting to be such big kids. We're 1 year old today! ... Cousin Jimmy ponders life with kittens.

You really think I'm going to get excited? ... Maybe they'll think I'm the birthday boy and give me a present! ... Mama said this was a Strawberry Shortcake plate, but I don't see any cake or strawberries or whipped cream!

Even on birthdays life goes on. ... If you can't lick them, join them. ... Poor Mama dreams of perfect photos.

This party food is berry good!... Wow, what a party! I'm pooped. ... I am well in body although considerably rumpled up in spirit.

Food...some good comes out of everything. ... Are hats good to eat? ... Don't even think about putting that thing on my head!

Where's the beef? ... I didn't ask for kittens to be born on my birthday. ... Emily says, "Poor Ilse, they got you too?"

This is bully! I'm the star! ... Some things are beneath my dignity. ... I'm Mama's cute boy!

Is it safe to come out yet? ... Please tell me we're almost finished! ... Oh well, Mama won.

Thank goodness birthdays come only once a year.
