1st Birthday Highlights

Every girl needs a tutu on her birthday (thanks Grammy!)

















The Birthdays Girls





























Cake anyone?

Here Colton, you taste.

Mommy and Daddy threw me the best birthday party on Saturday, May 16 (which is mommy's birthday and Grammy & Papa's anniversary, but they let it be my day this year). We were going to have it at a park but decided against partying in the chilly rain, so we had it at our house. I loved my cake that mommy made, it was so good! I liked it so much that I had to share it with my cousins and smear it all over my highchair. My presents were great too! I got a Little People farm and dollhouse, and books and all kinds of toys, but I think my favorite is my baby stroller. Me and baby have been all over the place since Saturday!

All in all, this was a great first birthday. I can't wait to do it again next year!

Don't let it ruin your weekend...

We almost made it, in fact, it took 11 months and four weeks before the inevitable hit. My first EAR INFECTION! Mommy knew something was up when I woke up Thursday night in a tizzy and nothing, not even her sweet self could make me feel better. Ever since daddy had strep, he was worried that I would eventually succumb, but little did they know that it was the fluid behind my ears that made me howl at 3 a.m.

Thanks to Dr. Stanford and his pointy flashlight (which I hate having stuck in my ear!!!), mommy got the news that about my dreadful ear bug and hightailed it to Walgreens for not only wonderful Amoxicillin, but some Allegra and Singular to keep my allergies at bay (she almost broke the bank too, but hey, I'm worth it).

Anyway, I'm doing better now and it's a good thing, because this is my PARTY weekend! Ain't nothing gonna keep this baby down when I've got a birthday cake with my name on it (literally) and cousins and friends to steal toys from (hey, it's my party). Keep posted for more party tidbits to come along with updates on my rockin' new toys (oh, yeah, I almost forgot, it's mommy's birthday and the rents anniversary too).
