Our Little Lady Turned One!

On August 17th our baby turned 1! I'm still kind of in shock that we have a one year old. It turned out to be a fun day.


While I was making Hallie's birthday cake I realized that I needed to level off the bottom. So I decided since Hallie doesn't get treats very often, that I would let her have a little bit of cake with her breakfast.
Well, while I was trying to get her to look up from her cake to take I picture, I said the wrong words. I said "where's Hallie?" without even thinking what her response would be.

Well, this is the response I got....

Which resulted in this. :)
So Hallie enjoyed a birthday morning bath.
After which a wonderful birthday nap. Lately she will crawl into a ball on the living room floor, and start sucking her fingers. A sure sign that it is time to go to sleep.
The Birthday Bash
For Hallie's party we invited our friends and family to the park by our house to play, and have cake and Popsicles. It was fun to celebrate with everyone.

We had bubbles, because they are Hallie's favorite right now

Yum!

The icing was her favorite part


Good to the last bite.
Do you think she liked it?
So do I.
The aftermath. Hallie ate almost the whole head!
She would have kept going too, but we were afraid she would
get a stomach ache.

After talking to Grandpa Dennis & Michelle on the phone, and playing a little bit longer, it was time for bed.
Good night!
Thank you everyone for enjoying Hallie's birthday, and first year with us. And thanks for all that you do and mean to us. We know we don't tell you enough, but we really do appreciate and love you all. We really couldn't ask for better family and friends.
