One Year Party!

Oh goodness!

 

It came and went so fast. Like they say, days can be long but the years are fast.

We celebrated our sweet baby girl this weekend and I want to burst with happiness!

It was the most fun and I enjoyed every. single. minute.

She most certainly had a blast too! From playing with some of her favorite friends and digging into the cake (Seriously) to being covered in dirt! It was perfect.

 

I cant even begin to explain the joy she brings to our life.

We catch ourselves everyday saying...gosh I love her more than I ever imagined.

We had friends and some family over for the big day. The house was filled with about 10 kiddies and their parents. It was just like a big, fun play date. 

Our party was all about ice cream--sundaes, ice cream cupcakes, ice cream rice krispie treats! What more can you want on a hot summers day?

Cold and yummy!

 A little preparty before our friends and family were here

Deedee and madds!

We had lots of fun getting ready for everyone.
Balloons, ball pit, water table, croquet for kids (balls and noodles), bubbles, chalk.
It was so much fun playing!

M cups, smash cake, ice cream! All sorts of deliciousness

Ty decided to partake in the water table fun-hot day!

All in all it was the most perfect day spent with some our best friends!

Thursday, August 29th we celebrate her actual birthday.

11 months

I will say I started getting a little too sentimental and emotional this month in regards to you being 11 months old.

How can it be? How can this little 7lb nugget almost be turning 1 year old.

Getting 2 more teeth in, as we speak (on the top)

You do laps around the house, non stop crawling (speed crawling might I add)

You love chasing and playing with Ty. Yall seem to have your own little games sometimes.

You're still quite the eater.

Favorite foods remain the same:

waffles

all fruit

graham crackers

we are really working on our vegetables, you are doing so much better with them

Favorite activities:

walking while holding mommy or daddys hands

pulling up anywhere

feed food to Ty

standing at the back door and watching Ty outside

swinging

Love play dates and going for morning runs

Bottle time

Favorite books:

pat the bunny (will this be a life time favorite?)

that's not my princess

bible stories from the best little kids bible

New:

Crying when we say No!

you have started to sway and rock when we sing and play music-its presh

 when did you get bigger than the extra large bunny?

We love to swing in the back yard
You could stay in it all day

Bath time is still a favorite. Ever since you got out of your pink plastic bath, you love to look in the little mirror part of the bath. I catch you doing it, you look at me and giggle. Its the best. You use the bath like a pool and just go back and forth.
Little fishy.

 Super fun play dates with Bridget. Yall couldn't be cuter, seriously.

 Sweet weekend snuggles with daddy and donut runs.

Weekends are the best.

One last girl lunch with Aunt Katie before Claire arrived....

If mom and dad are eating it, you want it!

You love to have your tummy tickled and the belly laugh is the absolute BEST

(makes my heart burst into a million pieces)

You are getting more mobile by the day.

Still have 4 teeth, 2 uppers and 2 lowers

 Getting a little harder to get pictures of you sweet thing!

We had a 4th of July parade ( a weekend early) for our neighborhood that we went to down the street
Lots of fun!

 You discovered your belly button and also love to look at mommys

 One of your best friends. Im not quite sure he was prepared for you to be so mobile and interested in him. Ty has been very gentle with you. Hope it stays this way!

 We love visiting daddy at work and having lunch dates with him. We go up to see him in the office and also walk around Preston Center after lunch to only run into the BIGGEST bow we have ever seen

:)

Not sure you would ever grow into that one Madds

 We celebrated 4th of July with the parade this year. Its your first 4th of July and Im hoping next year we will get all the neighborhood kiddies and get to be in the parade. Im sure dad would love to pull a trailer of all the kiddos.

We made our own little USA flag shirts with our neighbors.

We love Henry and Addie!

Yes, you love them! Just like mom.

Hey, what is this thing!!

 Mom and dad went on a Dallas Staycation. We stayed at the Crescent and had the most wonderful long weekend. It kind of reminds me of Paris with the architecture and courtyard. Its just fun. We had fun with happy hours, nice dinners, a movie, sleeping in, and just running around town. We went to the Perot Museum which was interesting but Im sure will be more fun with Maddie can enjoy it and watch her excitement.

Deedee and E kept you while we played around Dallas for a few days.

Your first pair of shoes.
Pure Preciousness

Deedee and E

You love Pat the Bunny!
Every day, every night, every minute

Ruffle butt.

You loved every little (or big) bite you had

We can go get Sprinkles anytime my sweets

GNO.

A much needed fun night out with some of my favorite girl friends.

 

Until next month....
