Our baby turned one on the 8th...
The cake and cupcakes were so girlie... (yea! we love having a girl in the house)
There were plenty of gifts...
Lots of friends...
An ample amount of help opening gifts...
There was the traditional singing of "Happy Birthday!"
And a complete meltdown!
I don't know if it was all the attention, but she did not want anything to do with her cake. Even a little bit of icing wasn't encouraging her to dig in!
So, after everyone else enjoyed their cupcakes, Livi decided she might give one a try...
And she really liked it!
Of course, everyone knows that cake is best with milk...
Thanks for the kitchen, Mima and Papa- Livi and her brothers love it!
At one year, you are a dainty 19 lbs, but you are 31 inches tall! The doctor tells us you are on your way to being a "tall, slender, girl!" You have 3.5 teeth and you are using several signs (more, all finished, night-night) and you have learned to say "cracker," "thank you," "daddy," "hi," "bye-bye," "more," and "night-night." Every morning when I walk into your room, you reach up from your crib and say, "hiiiiieeee!" You love to sing and you adore your baby dolls. You have a special bond with your brothers, and Noah (in particular) always makes you laugh and smile. You are a momma's girl through and through, but you have so much fun with your daddy. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. We are so happy to have you with us, sweet baby girl. Happy Birthday, Olivia Marie! We love you so much!
