Happy Birthday Little RoRo!!

I could kiss those dimples and never stop smiling into those big blue eyes!!  I just keep telling myself, enjoy every moment because after 2 kids already, I know all too well how fast she will grow up.  I can not believe my toothless little screamer is now 1!



I have looked forward to her party all month long!  I kept thinking and planning and the closer it got to her big day the more excited I got for it!  In my fantasy world I would party plan all day long!!  So much fun!
 The "Ice Cream" cake.  This was actually pretty easy to do, which was nice and took the pressure off a little bit.
 The Ice Cream/Goodie Bar...






 She loved opening her presents.  She got so many cute new clothes and some fun new toys.  She is lucky to have so many people who love her shower her with presents!!

She wasn't sure what to do at first...
 So she picked off the cherry off the top, and ooh did she love it! 
 Then with a little help from mom, she started to dive into the cake.  She has never had anything sweeter then a graham cracker, so I was shocked when she didn't go crazy over the chocolate.  Instead, she took her time, enjoying every bite until I think she made her self sick.  She sure was cute sitting there in her birthday chair enjoying her cake. 
 The cousins were all so cute and loving to her.

 Ella walked out with the largest ice cream sundae I have ever seen, and she knew just how to make it...a little of everything!  It was hilarious...I had to take a pic of her enjoying her dessert.

 She was so happy to sit in her chair, clapping her hands, and getting ready for...the cake!!!



Bria and I wore matching pants, and Shanna and I wore matching scarfs...we must all have good taste. :)
 Justin and Bria were laughing so hard because she kept growling in between gulps of her milk.  I think she gave herself a bit of a tummy ache from all the cake, so it was straight to bed after her bottle for her.  It had been quite an exhausting but exciting day for her! 
 Paisley sure loves her aunt Shanna.  We all do.

 My favorite pic that aunt Shanna took with her phone.  Ohh I love it!
The things I love most at 1 are:
The excitement in her eyes when I walk into the room, the way she bounces up and down on her knees when she is happy about something, the way her little fingers form into signs such as more, eat, milk, how she waves hi and bye, how she will eat anything I put in front of her, her chubby thighs, her kisses, oh how I love her kisses.  I love how when she is tired and I am about to put her in her crib, she will lean her head on my shoulder and snuggle me for a good 5-10 seconds before reaching for bed.  I love how my 2 older kiddos love and dote on her and she loves them sooo much!!  She claps and dances when she hears a song or any kind of music, and the cheesy smiles never end.  Thanks for being a great baby Rowan, we love you very much!  Happy Birthday!!
