Cannot Believe She's One!

Yesterday marked the last baby milestone we will celebrate in this house ... the first birthday. We decided that we didn't want to do anything big for Turtle because Christmas is around the corner and she won't remember it anyway. We wanted to make it special, though.

We did a meal from eMeals and then dessert was on Peanut. She made chocolate cake that we put in mini bundt pans for easy personal cakes (awesome idea from the hubby). I put green food coloring in the cream cheese frosting she chose for the "grass." Then, I made traditional buttercream frosting and dyed it purple and blue. We left white so mommy could make "snowflakes."

Here are the results of our birthday party!

Then, after her bath ... the kids gave her their present:

Stats:

Nicknames - Willow Bear, Monkey, Turtle, Stinker Stinker (which she tries to repeat after you say it)
Weight & Height is unknown at this time but we will know at her next appointment when she gets her 1 yr shots.
She has 6 teeth (4 on top and 2 on the bottom) and eats anything that sits still.
She loves to color, play dolls, follow Monkey around, and be with daddy. She also loves dancing to music and climbing into/onto things. She has almost figured out how to climb out of her crib, which has us concerned about how long we will be able to use it.

Dislikes - Being left out, daddy leaving, being tired
Words - Hi, Daddy, mama ... then she makes the sounds for Stinker Stinker and Where
