Elizabeth Hagen of Southington, Conn., writes: "We threw a huge party celebrating our baby Brooke's first birthday, but she was so out of place with all the people and kids that came that she got completely overwhelmed. By the time we got to the cake, she had a meltdown. Not even balloons could cheer her up! After a long nap and once the partygoers were gone, she was back to smiles again."
