Caitlin's First Birthday Party

Caitlin,
We celebrated your first birthday as a family on May 26th, but the real party happened on June 4th!  The weather was perfect, and you had a blast with your friends and family!  Surprisingly, you took a long morning nap on the day of your party and then another long afternoon nap right before the party started.  I had to wake you up for your own party!  It was a great day, and we had so much fun celebrating your 1st birthday!  We love you, baby girl!!

Here you are in your party dress.  You weren't sure what to think about these people being in your house.

Mommy helped you blow out your candle.

I tried to show you that icing was yummy.

Daddy did, too, but you wanted no part of it.

Daddy even put cheddar bunnies in your cake to entice you to try it.  No such luck.

Your friend Abby tried to say hi or maybe even give you a high five.

You tried to get away from her.

You wore you happy 1st birthday hat.

You quickly took it off.  Yes, your mouth was full of cheddar bunnies in this picture.

Daddy tried again to get you to eat your cake.  Again, you weren't interested, and you continued to eat your cheddar bunnies.

You played with the ball popper with Katie.

You moved on to play with your music table.

IMG_3205
Pop Pop tried to give you some beer, but we had to remind him that you weren't old enough.  Maybe in 20 years!

IMG_3207
You decided to show everyone how you can walk.  This is really the first time you realized that you could walk more than a few steps at a time.  Everyone was so excited to see you walking!  We loved how you held your hands out in front of you to keep you steady.
