Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

And this is less than half of the pictures!

end of a long day.

Day before I let her open one that rumor had it she might want to wear for her B-day.

She mostly liked the bucket and tissue paper.

her own little cake.

Showing off.

loving the teddy bear from her friend.

She liked all the cards - especially the peek-a-boo one. (Aunt June)

She was slow starting but really enjoyed opening gifts once she got going.

First real encounter with balloons

She did NOT want to sit still for a picture by this time in the evening so we put the balloons where she could see them to distract her.

My Confession. . .

I'm not sure why, but I am completely avoiding my housework today! I don't have a lot to do, but for some reason i'm putting it off. I DID clean the kitchen this morning and take out 2 bags of garbage and a diaper genie bag of diapers but otherwise i'm just finding anything else i can to do - checking e-mail, taking pictures of my beautiful baby girl (who is going to be a year old tomorrow already. sniff!), and blogging (lucky for you! :).

Her new thing is reaching even further than she ever has. . . She thinks she's pretty clever because she can ALMOST reach the things I moved back so she couldn't get to them.

Tippy toes! :-)

Sorry it's a little blurry but she was coming right at me and VERY pleased with herself as you can see! :D

End of February and we finally got a little snow. This was the first time she got to wear her snowsuit. It pretty well swallowed her up but she didn't seem to mind and she was sweaty by time we got home from running errands.

I told her to say cheese...

Very sleepy!

"Awww! Love Puppy."

This was just yesterday... Her and I have both had the sniffles for a few days so good sleep has been a little hard to come by.

And here's the rest of the story why she was so worn out!
