The Big O-N-E

It has finally happened.....
 
My teeny tiny little baby is a big girl!
 
She is one year old!!
 
 
She is such a little spit-fire, lemme tell ya!
 
The personality this girl has is astounding!
 
Independent?  Yes! Remember the self-feeding?? It is messy, but only SHE can feed herself!
Smart?  Yes!
Quick?  Yes! Yes!
Adorable?  Of course......
 
Official stats this month:
Height:  28 3/4 inches (34th percentile)
Weight:  20 pounds (55th percentile)
Down just a bit in weight after a wicked cold, but still right on track!
 
New Accomplishments:
Steps have been taken!!!  Not a full out walk, but steps nonetheless!
We are now sporting a total of 7 teeth!
She has learned to say "no" by shaking her head....not so sure I like that one.
She shows love by touching her forehead on yours.......
She is a lover!
 
Alright, so along with the Big Day, there was a party of course!
 
We went with flowers for the theme, since that is the design I liked at the store.  :)
 
I made the cakes (mainly due to Landon's allergy) and if any of you really know me, you know baking is NOT my thing!  But here is what came of it:

 
And a good spread of food....what is a party without food???? 
 
The Birthday Girl was pleased with the offerings... 
 
She wore her Birthday Girl shirt, in case anyone wasn't sure who had the birthday :)
 
And after some hanging out and chatting, we got in to the presents!



 
 A special quilt from Nana.... 

 
Then we moved on to cake.
I swear half the people who come to baby birthday parties come just to watch the cake smash!
She had her own cake for smooshing:
 
And everyone else got this cake:  
 
So here we go..... 





 
If it's good enough to eat, it must be good enough to wear!
 
Landon enjoyed the cake too......and it stayed mostly in his mouth, not on his face!
 
After we got Avery all cleaned up we sat down to take some family pictures since we were all together.
 
Here are the 4 generations on my dad's side:
Landon, me, Great Granny Goose, Avery, and my dad.
Adding my mom... 
 
The Grandmas.... 
....and the Grandpas. 
 
And the whole group...what a bunch! 
 
Whew!!  Party-palooza!
 
So, after a long day, she had some snuggles from Nana....
....and Bompa..... 
...and Mimi..... 
...a little play time with Daddy.... 
....and then we called it a day!
 
I think she woke up looking older already......
