My eight months birthday took a whole weekend to celebrate! Friday I had a mini celebration with my parents. Saturday night grandparents threw a party. And Sunday my family from Staten Island came for a visit. It was a very busy weekend, but I managed to fit a photo session into my schedule, so here are the long awaited pictures :)

Sushi chef
Saturday was my grandpa Yura’s birthday and we all went out for sushi on Sunday. I was very glad to see everyone, especially my cousin Jane :)
Being out for the first time in a restaurant proved to be a lot of work. I had to inspect the table setting and make sure all the plates were in correct spot, everyone had chopsticks and soy sauce. Of course many plates had to be rearrangement, cups moved, and napkins redistributed, and all of this while entertaining everyone! I also supervised the sushi rolling and even gave some pointers.
Happy birthday uncle Kirill!
Happy Birthday Grandpa!
Lovable friends
What a better way to conclude a Valentine’s Day week than to spend a Saturday in a company of good friends.
Guests from abroad
Today I sit and wait with anticipation for my cousin and uncle who are coming to see me all the way from Canada. They have been driving for a whole day, but I hope they will not be too tired and will have enough strength to play with me. I have been practicing new songs and rhymes so that I could entertain them :)
Happy Birthday Grandma!
Happy birthday dear grandma Roza!!! I wish you happiness and health!
I thought long and hard of what to give you for your birthday. Flowers – are expected, chocolates and cake – we cannot share yet, perfume – you can just walk around with me as I smell good all the time. So I decided what can be better than a birthday card designed, painted, and signed by me!? I took out my watercolors and made you a card. It was a lot of hard work, and after I was finished painting, I sat down to have a drink to your health :)

Aunts are the best
I had a very fun weekend, since my aunts and uncle came to visit. We haven’t seen each other since the last year, so they brought me lots of presents. I was a very good host, did not go to sleep even for a minute. I was entertaining the the best I could: playing games, laughing, blowing raspberries, and singing. I think they should come over more often, because they are so much fun to hang out with.
Partying the night away
I am happy to report that I did not sleep thru the new year! Waking up half past eleven, I had plenty of time to get ready and make my grand entrance. I wore my new dress and the crown. The celebration was a blast: everyone was taking pictures and I was the life of the party :)
Last day of the year
Even though I went to bed later than my usual bedtime yesterday, I couldn’t sleep in… there was just too much excitement in the air for the anticipation of the new year’s celebration: there will be guests coming and i have a brand new dress! So I decided to help with present wrapping. And Pixel joined too :)
