Little Missy turns a year old!

Tuesday, September 9, 2008

Today is Sweet Shiloh's 1st birthday. She truly is a light in the life of everyone who knows her. Morning 'til night, she has a smile on her face and a ready giggle for anyone. She loves "kitties", which includes anything with fur, and she pats you on the back when she hugs. She'll give kisses, but you have to watch out because they tend to get slobbery, and she'll gleefully say "bubba" when she spots a brother.

We are very grateful to have Shiloh, and right now I am contemplating 1 year to the hour ago, when Shiloh was about 6 hours old and all I could do was hold her and stare, amazed that I had been given such a precious gift. Shiloh Isabelle is pure joy to us. Happy birthday, missy.




On Saturday, we had Shiloh's birthday party. Melissa & Co, Jeanie, Tyler, and Mom came over for the festivities. Shiloh was quite the birthday princess, and the party was just the right size. She had fun at every turn, and nothing was overwhelming, which makes it nice-for her and me :)

The fabulous cake made by Mom!


Shiloh's personal cake!


SOME of the birthday girl's presents!


She was thrilled that everyone was singing to her!


Party in full swing!

The moment that everyone was waiting on finally happened....I let Shiloh have cake! I've kind of been known as the baby food nazi, and so Shiloh has never had any sweets prior to Sat....

Not so sure about this cake thing...


Well...it MIGHT be okay....

Yeah, she likes it!

YUM!

So, after a quick rinse in the kitchen sink and a re-dressing, it was on to the pile of presents! Shiloh got lots of awesome clothes (per my request!), a new babydoll, a ride on hippo thingy (very cool), and a teething bead thing that she likes alot.

New Babydoll!

She has taken to patting the new baby and setting it down and signing "baby" at it :)



Birthday girl, anyone?

Shiloh and Landon...playing near, if not with, each other! Cool hippo, huh?


All wore out, she nearly conked out on Grandma

All the "miniature" party guests!
