One Year Old

Nina's 1st birthday was Saturday and we had a giant party. It was a lot of work but a lot of fun. We had a big BBQ and a giant inflatable slip-n-slide. The kids all had a great time. Thank goodness I had Grandma Susie here to help or I wouldn't have gotten any sleep with all the preparations. Nina had a rainbow party, complete with rainbow cupcakes and decorations. Even the slip-n-slide had rainbows on it. I would have to say it was a successful party.

I can't even believe that my baby is already 1. This past year went by so fast. Nina walks now and says about 10 words. Her favorite words to say are Mama and more, those 2 words will pretty much solve any problem that she is having. She has learned to navigate the stairs and can get on and off the couch. She is a little dare devil and you always have to have one eye on her to make sure she isn't getting into any trouble. Nina is a very joyful child. You really couldn't ask for anything more.



The cupcakes

I just love all her expressions while enjoying her birthday cake.
