birthday booty

Yes, I got many fun new toys for my birthday. I got a basketball hoop and a ball and I am getting really good already and love to say "nothing but net!" Mama loves the NBA and has high hopes for me there since it looks like I'm going to be pretty tall. But my favorite toy, as of yesterday anyway, is this one from Amy Lou:
