Sarah's 1st Birthday

Our baby girl celebrated her first birthday on Aug. 3rd. And, I'm a bad mommy for not posting this earlier. It just took me this long to get the pictures on to the computer. So, at least I have them on now.

We celebrated at home with friends and family. The kids all really enjoyed playing on our new swing set and play structure in the backyard. It was a pretty warm day. Sarah got a lot of cute toys and clothes. Thank you everyone for the gifts and for coming to help us celebrate our baby's first birthday.

Oh my, we can't call her our baby anymore. She's a toddler! Aaaahhhh! Here are the many names we have given our little darling....Sarah-boo, Boobooo, Sarah-dactil, Baby monster, Screacher creature, Godzoockie, Sweet pea, and termite. I'm sure there are more, I just can't think of them right now.

Our little wonder girl is constantly keeping us on our toes. She is now running and climbing on everything. She has no fear, that's OK, I have enough for the both of us. She is so easy going and loves to go to everybody. We rarely have separation anxiety, in fact the only time she cries when we leave is because she wants to go outside, too. She's not upset that we are leaving. :0)

Below are some pictures from her birthday party. Enjoy!

Oh my, look at all the helpers who want to help Sarah unwrap her gifts. :0)

Great Gma and Sarah opening presents.

I made Sarah a butterfly birthday cake. I made sure to make it chocolate so it would show up better in the pictures. :0)

Are you sure I'm supposed to eat this?

Hmmm, this looks interesting. I wonder if it tastes good.

OOoooohhhh, squishy, squishy! I like it!

Now I'm getting the hang of this eating cake thing. Yummmm!

What? Aren't I supposed to make a mess? :0)
