366 days ago, little Saxon Marie Moseley arrived with loud screams to announce her arrival. On August 11, 2007, both Saxon and her parents celebrated the anniversary of her birth. As parents, we toasted surviving Saxon’s first year. Saxon’s glad we’ve extended her contract for another year and she gets to stay on Team Moseley. 
Saxon’s big day birthday began with the arrival, Saturday morning, of my Dad. Saxon immediately remembered that she really likes her Gran. Gran has a knack with babies and canines - they all love him. Gran wanted Saxon to pick her birthday present so we all went to the mall, first stop Babystyle. I really thought Saxon would like a small ride-on car (in pink, of course). She politely sat on the car when placed upon it, but showed little to zero interest.
Saxon kept returning to the Porter the Puppy Stuffed Chair, saying, “Dahhhh” each time (dah = dog for those who don’t know Saxonspeak). Check out the first two pictures below to see Saxon with the “dah” that gran bought her. 
We had lunch at NorthPark so Saxon could enjoy one of her favorites, teriyiaki chicken. Later that afternoon, Saxon’s friends Liam, Jonathan and Patrick joined her for her 1st birthday party. Lots of firsts on her first:
- 1st Little Red Wagon
- 1st Ipod (ok, it’s a baby “iPod”)
- 1st Purse
- 1st Baby Doll
- 1st Bank
and most interesting…1st Cake. As you can see from the photographs below, Saxon’s first taste of cake was a sweet one indeed.
