I have been reluctant to write this post for some reason. I guess it is because I'm a little sad that my baby girl has turned a year old. Silly, I know. I just want this time to last a little bit longer. Anyway, we had a small party at home with just our family. The night before Nippon and I (even Afton tried a few) blew up 20 balloons and covered the living room floor. She was so excited when she came down the stairs in the morning and played with those balloons for days.
I hung up streamers and some cute Disney lanterns to make it more festive.
We bought her a small shopping cart that she instantly knew what to do with. She added her baby right to the little seat and began pushing her around. Gradually she added items to the basket as she came across them. When she would get stuck she was grunt until one of us turn it around for her.
Presents were wrapped and a delicious chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and buttercream frosting was ordered.
Off with the cute dress (that I didn't even get a picture of!) and into disposable diapers. I didn't want my cute cloth diapers to get all yucky. Ha!
She had her own cupcake that she was allowed to destroy.
Surprisingly she ate a lot of it!
It's my party I can cry if I want to, cry if I want to.....
All cleaned up and ready for presents! She wasn't sure what to do with them but with a little help from her brother she got the hang of it.
Pretty Birthday Princess
My mom gave Rowan and I this awesome drum made of a tree trunk and hide. It's got a great sound and each of us has had a drumming session with it. She even made us a mallet to go with it. How cool is that?!
Happy 1st Birthday Lil Bug.
Oh 1 year already, and what a wonderful year it was! Happy birthday pretty little lady. I know what you mean about it going too fast. I miss so much of the baby stuff!
