Party animal

Last night we went to Grandma Connie's for her birthday party! It was so fun and I got to wear some fancy new clothes Aunt Donna sent me for my birthday. I was quite the little fashionista. 

New toy!

Aunt Donna sent me a fun package for my birthday. It included some nice clothes (one outfit I'll wear to Grandma Connie's birthday party tonight) and a little dog! I love the dog. I have been carrying it in a backpack everywhere. 

Birthday party

I had a great first birthday party. It was rainbow themed (because Mom and Dad say I'm their little ray of sunshine) and I had loads of fun! A lot of friends were over, the weather was great, and I got to be outside! Three things that make me happy. (LOTS of pictures coming!)

I never did see this cupcake. Rumor has it Sawyer ate it. Oh well, I'm not big on sweets anyway. 

Super fun! Sawyer helped me open all of my presents, and he did so at lightening speed! I am still not sure what came from who, but Mom said she is trying to get thank you notes out ASAP. Thank you everyone who came and made my first birthday so special!

A year ago today

I was born. What a difference a year makes!

Here I am getting ready to go home from the birth center...all snugly and new. 

And here I am with mom on Sunday at my birthday party (more on that soon). I am still pretty snugly, but I am much bigger and mobile! I love to walk, be outside, I give kisses, high fives, and need to be involved in everything. I am learning a few signs and loving reading books. I love my little family!

Building

After dinner the whole family played duplos. I was more interested in climbing in and out of the bucket than building, but it was fun!

I love ducks!

Mom took us to the new park by the library, which was really fun. My favorite part was chasing the ducks!
