My first shower?

A few weeks ago, Yin-Yin had a party to celebrate me... personally, I can't think of a better reason for a party, can you? Needless to say, I really couldn't see very much, but I heard lots of chatter and laughter, and everyone seemed to have a great time. Most of the people at the party were people Yin-Yin and Daddy May knew from working at a big bank for lots and lots of years. I guess there's going to be ANOTHER party for me in August with more of Mommy May's friends. We received SOOOO many gifts for me--cute clothes, booties, blankets, hats, shoes, even a hamper, a swing, and a stroller! I am so excited to use all my cool new stuff!

Here's a picture of Daddy May being silly, as usual:














And I guess Mommy May can't help being a teacher... even at a party!

The highlight of the party for me was a conversation Mommy May had with a little boy named Joey. On the way to the party, he had asked his mom where they were going. She replied that they were going to a baby shower. He asked, logically, if the baby would be given a shower at the party. She answered, "No, it's a party they throw for a baby." Joey's next question was, "Where will they throw the baby?" His confusion peaked at the party when some of the kids were taking pictures of Mommy May's belly. He heard the kids talking about taking a picture of the baby, and he asked Mommy May, "There's a baby in your belly?" He then proceeded to emphatically reject the idea of a baby being inside a belly, shaking his head vigorously over and over before running away in frustration. Poor guy; can't blame him for being a little freaked out.
