Happy 1st Birthday Bug!

So, we celebrated Caelin's 1st birthday today with a few of her favoirte things. Puffs and Lucky Charms to start things off, pizza for lunch and cake, brownies, cookies and ice cream sundaes for dessert. The bug was happy to see everyone, family and friends alike! And after a resounding Happy Birthday we all enjoyed hearing the Zoom Birthday song bringing us all back to our single digit birthdays! From our family to yours, thank-you so much for joining us to celebrate Caelin's 1st birthday. After a long nap on the ride home, Caelin eagerly opened up her presents and stayed up an hour late to give her new toys a test run and to show off her trendy new clothes. Happy 1st Birthday Caelin!!

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Our little Bug-Star is 1!!! Hard to believe that a full year has gone by- this year has been an incredible experience, one that we feel so lucky to be a part of. Through sleepless nights, her silly giggles, ear infections (after ear infection...after ear infection!), trying new foods, throwing new foods and all the rest in between- we have smiled (and cringed at a few) of all of the little moments Caelin has brought into our lives. The only way to describe this past year is AWESOME!

Happy St. Paddy's day!

An nì chì na big, ‘s e nì na big!

What....you have green cheerios? I want some too!!! She won't eat a green vegi to save her life but she sure did love the green cheerios at school today! Caelin joined her friends for a fun filled day of munchin on cheerios, making a shamrock hat and taking advantage of the nice weather by going for a walk outside! Hope everyone had a happy St. Paddy's day!! As for the saying above which translates to "what the little ones see, the little ones do", Caelin and friends at school have started interacting and playing much more with each other. And now that they are all mobile, a fun 'breakfast club' tradition is to try to food steal from each other...Emmett's got waffles, Reese has fruit and Caelin has raisins...oh the possibilities!

A touch of green, so I don't get pinched by the leprachauns!

65 and sunny, let's go for a stroll Emmett!

When Irish Eyes are Smilin....

SHAM-ROCKER!

Speedy!

A few steps here and a few steps there....Caelin is starting to get a hang of it!!

Best Month Ever!

That's right...the best birthday month ever is upon us (yes, I realize I am a little bias)! Sorry about the lack of posts, but Miss Caelin has been so mobile its been a bit trickier to get on to update the blog since we are chasing her around! I hesitate to say she took her first steps today...but it was pretty darn close! She was holding on to the couch and she turned and took 2 steps toward me and grabbed onto my hands. So while she definitely was not totally balenced it was close!! Nowadays she can be found cruising from the couch to the walker, chatting with the dogs or moo-ing like a cow! It is quite cute...next time you see her ask her what the cows say...she will eagerly respond with "MMmmmmm"! Other great feats include trying to put her shoes on her feet, enjoying cheesecake at CCF and playing catch with the mini soccer ball. Pictures are a bit tough to come by as shes moving and groovin' but here are a few for now!

Hello out there!

Hugs and kisses for Diesel
