Skylar turns one!

Skylar is ONE year old today! I can't believe how fast this year has gone! It's been so much fun! We celebrated with a little dinner party on Saturday, nothing elaborate, since her memories of this birthday will exist only in pictures. Fortunately, we have a lot of them:)

Skylar woke up from her nap today to find that she had balloons from Granbabe and Granstud! Balloons happen to be Skylar's favorite, so she was pretty excited.

Aunt Nicole bought Skylar some cute outfits and fun books. They are best friends:)

Aunt Kristy and Uncle Andy also got Skylar some fun books! Kristy even wore a matching headband in honor of Skylar's birthday.

She had her well-baby today and got her shots and blood drawn. She was supposed to get 5 shots, but we only did 2 today. I couldn't stand the thought of all those pricks at one time. We found out she weighs 20 1/2 pounds and is 29.5 inches long! She has just about tripled her birth weight! She was completely worn out by the time we got home.

This was are only family picture from her party and we weren't even looking the right way! Skylar was of course, she is always aware of the camera.

Micah had more fun playing with Skylar's toys than she did, especially all of the really noisy instruments.

Skylar loved having everyone sing to her and clapped for herself. She also loved her cupcake of course, and ate pretty much the whole thing. Afterwards, she had a crazy look in her eyes from all that sugar.

Addison Hilton got Skylar a big pink bunny. We go to storytime together at the library on wednesdays and they have big stuffed animals at the library that Skylar likes to sit on, so Addie got one for her. They ended up wearing matching tutu's---and we didn't plan it!

Nicole and I decorated the dining room in pink and green. Nicole is the crepe paper queen.

Our yummy cupcakes:

The party favors:

I love this picture because she still looks like my baby instead of such a big girl! She had just woken up from her nap and was still a little sleepy.
My how far she's come in a year! This is one of my favorite pictures of Skylar and her daddy when she was 10 days old!
"I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him" 1 Samuel 1: 27

We love you baby girl!
