Will's Birthday Bash

The main reason I went up to visit my parents was to take part in his birthday bash! He turned 60! Here is an amusing video of the cake. You can hear Claire saying "SPOON PLEASE" because she wants to eat some cake! Check it out:

Mmm. CAKE!

And just so you don't think I feed my baby junk food all day, every day, this is the first time she's had cake...well other than a bit at her own birthday and at some weddings we've been too. And the ice cream bar was a few days ago. :) I'm not a horrible Mother. (Note to self...upload videos of her eating fruit, healthy food, etc!)

Fetal Cookies

Happy Birthday Little One!

On Monday, July 21, Claire turned one! We had a party to celebrate on Saturday. Lots of fun was had by all. She loved had fun laughing at the balloons and pointing at them.

Claire with Mommy and her little CareBear that she has adopted as her lovey that she takes everywhere, including to bed. I like her choice as it's easy to wash! :)

Claire enjoyed squishing her cake all over her hands, face, and even on her little party crown. I'm not sure that she ate more than about a teaspoon, but boy she had fun playing in it!

The second we set the cake in front of her, she dove right in with her whole hand, as you can see here.

On Monday, her actual Bday, Josh took the day off and my Mom, Arlene, was still here so we decided to go see the new BATMAN at the IMAX. We went during Claire's afternoon nap time, and she slept/nursed the whole time and was still completely passed out when it was over. Last summer, we went to see HARRY POTTER and it was sold out, so we made sure to order our tickets online this time ahead of time. We saw TRANSFORMERS as I was 9 months pregnant, we didn't make it to the movies the following weekend, because Claire was born! :) Josh and I realized we hadn't been to see a movie in the theatre for a whole year, so it was about time, considering we are huge movie buffs and love all the summer blockbusters.

Also, on Monday night, we went to the Castleton LLL where Claire loves to play with the other little kids, and some other girl bit her right on the forehead :( Poor Clairesey! I just nursed her, and she was fine, but it was too bad that happened on her Bday.

It's hard to believe that she has grown so much and changed so much in just one short year, but they say that every year keeps getting faster!
