On Lillian's first birthday, she gave a pretty great gift to us... she walked! Solo! For the first time! AND we got it on camera!!!
We are SO proud it's ridiculous! It was exciting to have this milestone on her birthday, and with Mama, Dada, Grampa, and Gramma all there to encourage and watch in amazement! Since then she's done it a few more times, but she's pretty slow and shaky so if she really wants to get somewhere she sticks to the trusty hands and knees.
Now about the birthday itself... we took just a few videos and photos. Ok, I'm being fecicious.
Here are her birthday cupcakes before anyone got their hands on them...
Cover your ears, the family "sings" to the birthday girl in this one - she's pretty dumbfounded!
Here is the little birthday girl enjoying the wonderfulness that is chocolate...
Lillian got the jumbo sized cupcake, and I figured there was no way she'd finish it all. But curiously, there weren't really all that many crumbs on her tray when she was done. Where could they have gone?
And oh, the presents! We try to limit the toys so they don't take over the house, but she managed to clean up pretty nicely just the same! Lillian and I were both pretty darned impressed with the beautiful handmade cards from the Landy cousins - thanks, guys!
Auntie Kelly mailed a gift and had already sent one home with us at Christmas - spoiler!
Lots more birthday videos here and lots more birthday photos here. We might have gone a little camera happy. :)
Well, so far so good on keeping up with the blog. Too soon to be patting myself on the back, you think? Ah well.
