Luke enjoying his favorite part of every birthday party...he talks about the cake for days leading up to the party, but then he only eats a few bites, every time. Funny boy!
Daddy and his girl!
Mama and the birthday girl!
We are proud parents!
To say she enjoyed the cake would be an understatement...baby girl went to town!
Here she is on her actual birthday enjoying her gift...she feels like she's as big as her brothers. :-)
Tex enjoyed some of her icing, Hannah dug right into this smash cake on her birthday.
Isaac adores Hannah, he will even get in her play pen to play with her.
How can it be? How can my baby girl be one already!?! I cannot believe it! This year has flown by, it has been so fun, even though some days/moments have been challenging. This season of our life with three kids 4 and under is not an easy season, but my goodness it is fun at it's best and it is so special! Hannah has proven to have a personality all her own, she has some same characteristics of each of her brothers...she can be laid back and mellow like Isaac was, but in the next moment she becomes feisty and determined like Luke. She has her own bit of sassyness, she is a talker, and is very curious! The girl wants to know what is going on all around her at all times. She is very social, even with a little stranger anxiety, so in the safety of my arms or a shopping cart, she is Miss Social talking to and smiling at everyone. She never misses an opportunity to say hi, bye, or uh-oh. And she tries to say many more words daily. She says everyone's name, but Luke, she loves to stand at the door and talk to Cole and Tex while they are outside. Hannah eats like a champ, she is not too picky yet, and enjoys feeding herself the most. She is still nursing, I haven't been able to cut her off yet, even though part of me is ready to be done, the other part really enjoys that special cuddle time...and she really enjoys it still, so we'll see how long this continues. Hannah has a talented tongue, she can roll it, flip it over, and make all kinds of noises with it. She tries to mimick everything she sees and hears. She loves to dance, when she hears music she immediately begins dancing...it's so cute! Hannah is not walking yet, she crawls very fast, so I think she's decided there's no need to walk when she can get every where she wants on her hands and knees. She will walk behind a walker or really anything that moves (chairs, trucks, etc), but she sure gets mad when she runs into a wall or furniture and can't turn herself. On her birthday she decided she was big enough to explore the swing set, and she started climbing the stairs all on her own! She climbed up and slid down the slide over and over...her joy was contagious!
This past weekend we had a party to celebrate our special one year old. It was a faboulous celebration, we were surrounded by so many good friends and our wonderful family. Hannah is very loved by so many, and for that we are so thankful! It was a Minnie Mouse party, inspired by our trip to Disney World, and with the help of Pinterest I had a lot of fun creating some fun decorations. We let the kids play out in the yard while the parents visited and played a little, too. The cake is always a big event, and oh Hannah did not disappoint. Isaac was very hesitant to dig into his cake, but once he did he enjoyed it and mad a mess. Luke wanted nothing to do with the cake on his first birthday, he ended up in tears. Hannah was ready, she went right for it and enjoyed every bite and lick of it. The girl loved the cake and the attention. :-) After the cake we had a cupcake pinata, which went fast. I think the kids enjoyed it, but I felt bad that it broke early and not all the kids got to hit it. Overall, it was a special evening, one we won't soon forget. It was a great way to end our baby's first year.
