The Big Oh-One

We're not sure when or how it happened, but last Tuesday we awoke to find a one year old in our house, and not a happy one year old at that. She was in the throws of cutting her second tooth. She didn't even smile while her bubbies sang Happy Birthday to her. It's her birthday and she'll cry if she wants to.
A quick note about this picture. That onesie Riley has on is the size newborn that she wore last year at four days old!

We left that morning to go to Gatlinburg for a few days, so we celebrated her birthday Sunday afternoon with our families. Our first girlie party- ladybugs. This ended up being appropriate since my mom's house has been invaded by them. I'm glad I didn't buy the expensive balloons with little ladybugs on them because we ended up with the real deal, all natural ladybug dotted balloons. This time Riley enjoyed everyone singing to her.

Here's the "tablescape."

Riley really enjoyed the pizza.

Yum-O

Who needs hands?

Excuse me, is this washable?

We were really surprised that she demolished the cake. We weren't even sure she would touch it, let alone try it. That is Jax's head in the picture. He was standing there trying to stick his finger in the icing. Riley keep saying, "mine...mine...mine...."
