Ehlana's First Birthday

Our little Ehlana turned 1 year old this Wednesday.I can't believe how fast this last year has gone by. Elle is loud, silly, beautiful, demanding, and a wonderful blessing to our family. She is only 14 pounds and is wearing 6-9 month clothes. She claps her hands, waves "bye bye" and "hello", folds her arms for prayer, (which is the cutest thing I've ever seen)babbles and sings to herself, and she eats more than Jaxson at almost every meal. She's close to getting an Academy Award for her temper tantrums and she will always tell you how she feels.
Her favorite words are Dada, Mama, No No, Bahbah(brother), and nigh nigh (night night). She also says nana (banana), bye bye, dog, gama (grandma), and papa. Her vocabulary grows everyday. She loves baths, playing in Jaxson's room, loading and unloading toys, crawling after the cat, and swinging in her new swing.

For her birthday I wanted to have a big party for her. Thursday my parents came over for her to open her presents and Friday we had some friends over for her party. The kids played bubbles and did a craft. We played steal the bacon and ate a lot of food. I made her a Butterfly cake and she was so cute as she dug into it. I took a lot of pictures with my Mom's camera and so right now I only have pictures of her eating her cake. She's so stinkin' cute!

Happy Birthday my Baby girl! We love you!
