My baby is growing up too fast! It's amazing how it goes by so fast, and yet, life BEFORE her seems like AGES ago. I can hardly remember what it was like. How on earth did I exist day to day and not MISS her?
So yesterday we had a big party for her at my house. She was the center of attention and she was lovin' it. She got lots of presents, and was so excited about her new toys! We got her this little book called, "That's Not My Mermaid!" and she LOVES IT. She keeps licking it, actually, which is, apparently, the highest compliment she can give it. She turns the pages and listens to you read it and touches the "feely" parts of the book and she just laughs. So cute.
Her Auntie Andrea made her a "smash cake" in her cake decorating class. It was cute I hated to let her have at it. But it turns out, Afton was quite the lady. She just picked at it. She DID manage to get frosting all over her face, but it took a bit of time to get there. She was so careful! We gave her another piece of it today, and after sampling it awhile, she totally tossed it on the floor.
She also opened lots of presents, and then afterwards walked around with the BOXES and totally ignored the presents. Typical. Here's a picture of her that I just happened to snap right as she was stepping on the cat's tail. He didn't mind much--the cat is TOTALLY enamored of her. And here's another one of her playing with the lego blocks Andrea gave her. Isn't that dress cute? Seven bucks at Kid to Kid. Wahoo! And, of course, I made that ribbon to match.
We managed to take a couple of family photos at the birthday party too. It was so fun to give her a special day like that. I just love my little baby! The rest of these were taken today while Trevor was home with her. Then our battery ran out and we can't find the cord, so there goes that.

I am completely and totally biased but she is seriously THE most beautiful baby girl ever and if you tell MY girls that, I will NOT admit I said that.
The 'smash cake' totally rocks- she did a great job on it.
I love it! What a great little party. She is so adorable. Isn't it amazing how you can't remember life before her? You see other people with kids and don't think much of it, especially when they have three or four. But here I am with my third and I am just as enamored with him as I was my first two.
She is such a sweet little girl. I am so happy you guys are getting to have all these experiences with her. Can't wait to get some cousin twin pictures.
Oh wow, I can't believe she's one already! Holy crap, it really does go fast. But I totally hear you about barely remembering life before kids, they just completely take over our lives, minds, everything--which is good! I really do mean that in a good way.:)
She is such a cutie, Meg. Seriously, adorable.
