First birthday bash!

Myah's birthday turned out to be a fun little celebration! We had our family over for pizza, cake and ice cream. Thanks to everyone who came! It was a fun day....I still can't believe my baby is one!

Here is Myah enjoying a nice slice of cheese pizza.....I think she is starting to wonder what this baby food business is when everyone else gets to indulge in food like pizza! She loved it!

This is one of my fav's. We were just starting to open presents. She was just excited to be there, my boys on the other hand were really thrilled to see what was inside all of that wrapping paper. I swear she would open one present, and let's be honest, all she wanted to do was eat the darn thing and my boys were just throwing a new present in her lap taking the old one away wanting her to hurry!!!!! It really was pretty comical!


This picture I love! Lesli's little girl Clara is just about 2 and she was just heart broken that Myah was getting all of these fun new gifts. She so badly just wanted something to be for her! Good thing her birthday is just a couple of weeks away, I think she will enjoy that party MUCH more!

Myah got a new little car to ride around in! Pro.....she loves it, Con......the boys love pushing her in it. This would be a good thing, however they think it is fun to have crash wars while she is in the driver seat. I swear if this little girl survives these brothers it will be a miracle. Funny thing is, she just adores them. I think she might grow up to be just as daring and crazy as her brothers!
Cake time! She so badly just wanted to touch that flame!

Out of all of my kids, she dove into her her cake the best!(Carter was a close second....Camden put his finger in it and was completely disgusted!) I think it was the best thing she ever tasted! She started with both feet and then just dug in with her hands! She loved it! (By the way, I was going to make her cake, but decided on a birthday dress project instead so I had to settle for Macey's. But it was great because they gave me a free "smash cake" just for her! So if you are in need of a 1st year b-day cake, I highly recommend it!)


Darin thought Carter should join in on the fun as well. He thought it was funny for about 3 seconds then we had some pretty good tears mixed in with that frosting!
We celebrated her birthday the night before her real b-day, so I had to get a couple of pictures on the "real" day. I love the look on her face...I don't think she can believe it is her birthday either!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY...until next year. I took Myah for her one year checkup last week and she was weighing in at 18 lbs 4 oz. (10%.....she is my little runt, I have never NOT been able to face my kids forward when they turned 1) and was 28 in. (25%....not only does she not weigh enough, she still has an inch before she outgrows the infant carrier). She is soooo close to walking, I'm sure it won't be long now. It is just crazy to see how much she has grown and learned in one short year. As much as I hate seeing her grow up, I just love this age and all of the cute things she does!
