We celebrated Mateo's first birthday party with a potluck picnic in Golden Gate Park. We had a nice picnic site, near the Dahlia Garden and the Conservatory of Flowers, and lots of friends came to share in the festivities. Mateo had loads of fun -- here are a few photos to prove it.
Catching a moment of shade in his beloved giraffe tunnel.
We brought this wagon to haul all of our gear to the picnic site, but it ended up being a big hit with the kids. Mateo loved riding in the front and standing up the whole time. His buddies Oliver and Leo got a kick out of it, too.
Oliver's mom Rosa pulls the wagon, and Nalini helps push.
Mateo takes a break from playing to gnaw on an apple-pear, which cousin Jenny brought us from her backyard garden in Berkeley.
Despite having his own, Mateo tries to swipe cousin Elliot's pacifier.
Sure enough, he succeeded.
Mateo helps open cards and presents, and all the kids swarm the emerging pile of goodies. Here Lucas checks out Mateo's new drum, and Maya checks out a colorful book.
Mateo bangs on his new drum while Lucas looks on.
Mateo and Maya make music together.
Mateo rushes to text all his friends about what a cool party he's having and how many awesome gifts he just scored, including this colorful wool hat.
Casey and Maya say goodbye (but not for long, since we met up with them for sushi afterward). Next month, it will be Maya's turn to celebrate the big 1.
