Cutest little 1 year old

This picture doesn't have to do with her birthday but it was too cute. I was unloading the dishwasher and when she hears the dishwasher open she is comes a crawlin'. She likes to help "unload" the dishwasher. That just means taking things out and either handing them to me when I tell her no or throwing them on the floor. I turned around for a second and when I turn back around the next thing I see is this. She also climbs in Corbins bouncer (well once was hers) and just sits. She will also climb on the banana chairs and sit while either playing with a toy or watching TV. She is soo close to walking she is just not quite there yet. Anyway, this was too cute so I had to post.

Wal Mart has a special for first birthdays that if you buy a full size cake they give you a FREE 4-inch cake. I was focusing on the lady bug theme but couldn't ever find the time to get invites put together. So we did lady bug thank you notes. We did a lady bug cake and the 4 inch cake was supposed to be lady bugs also but Wal Mart mistakenly sold it to someone else. So we let Divyne dig into the 4 inch cake. She really enjoyed it. She wasn't quite sure what to do at first but she finally figured it out as you can tell from the pictures.

Well, she is finally a year old. We had a small party for her and invited just a few friends. I think she had a fun but long day. She got 2 little summer dresses, a cute skirt and sweater set, & a toy from us that Riley seems to enjoy more than her. This toy is the one that has the 5 things (in this case animals) that you turn or push the button and they pop up, she likes you to make the animals pop up and she pushes them down. We were so excited for her 1st birthday because that meant that if she was 20 lbs that we could turn her car seat around. So Monday we went to the doctor. Let me say this first. When we went to her 9 month appointment she was 17 lbs. When we took her in on Monday she was 19 lbs 4.5 ox. She was so close?? Over the past year she has gained 5 lbs but is growing really well. We are really trying to get her to gain a few more ounces to get her to 20 lbs. Corbin the other hand may just beat her. He weighed in at 16 lbs.
