Cute as a Cupcake

Our little cupcake just turned one!  Hooray!  We had a fun week of celebration (minus all the sickness that wasn't so fun).  Her birthday was Wednesday and we celebrated with lunch at Rain Forest Cafe with Grandma and Auntie Jen and Hadley, even D came during his lunch break.  That night we got ice cream at McDonald's and had fun at the Play Place.   But the big celebration was on Saturday.  We threw our little doll the best cupcake party!

We decorated cupcakes, played games, opened gifts and ate lots of cupcakes.

Her very own pink cake!

 Getting her first taste...

 Diggin in...

 

Gettin all messy!.  Not much got in her mouth. She had more fun just making a mess. 
Happy Birthday little princess! Thanks for all the love from family and friends as we celebrated her first year!

She's on the move

G took off crawling the day after her birthday.  Who would have thought 12 months and 1 day she finally decides to make a move.  Well it's been a long time coming.  She has been wanting to move for a while and we just knew it was a matter of time.  But I took me for surprise when she did it.  All it took was a Mr. Potato head sticker.  She saw that sticker and just made her way towards it.  Of course she is doing it her own way.  It may not be pretty now but she is getting around, most of the time with her head down and bum up in the air.  It is excited none the less.  She already has a favorite place to go to...under the table.

This is day two.  Not getting too far just yet...but it is still fun to watch.  She might be a natural gymnast...she just loves to be on her head.

Mom Guilt

I am feeling a little guilty this morning.  As I sit here and look at my empty baby book for G.  I am feeling bad for things that I have been lacking in lately.  I feel bad for not keeping up with all of her "first".  I can make a list of things that I haven't done.  Her baby book is nearly empty and her first birthday is around the corner.  She has two adorable little teeth sprout last month that I still have taken pictures of.  And have no pictures of her first thanksgiving or Christmas.  Thanksgiving I had my camera and just didn't take any pictures.  And Christmas I left my camera at home.  I am feeling so bad for my little girl.  I hope she knows how much we love her.  The time has just slipped away from me.  My goal this week, one week away from her 1st birthday is to get her up to date.  For her own sake, so she will never think we forgot about her and for my own sake, maybe I don't have to live with this Mom guilt the rest of my life.
