It's your party...be sick if you want to!

So I think I am the world's worst blogger!  Days and days (and sometimes weeks) go by and I don't blog.  I'll try to be better.

We had baby girls birthday party last Sunday afternoon.  Poor thing had been sick since the Thursday before.  Seriously sick on Saturday.  She was awake a total of 3 hours on Saturday, high fever, etc.  She was miserable.  Thankfully her fever broke Saturday evening so we could still have her party.  Sunday she stayed home from church (thanks grandma) and got some rest so that when all of the guests arrived, she was a happy little girl.  She ate a bite of cake and that gave her some energy and she was adorable.  She sat in a chair and opened her presents...mostly by herself.  All in all a great day with family, the Morris contingent even made it here from up north!  Yay!


Happy Birthday my dear sweet baby girl!  We are SO thankful for you!

Yummy cake and cupcakes.  Box cake, my sister and I made the frosting and the flowers.  I got the idea from Bakerella  a VERY creative blog on baking!

News about Katie

I posted a few weeks back that I was gonna have some exciting news about my sister Katie.  I know all one of you have been waiting with baited breath....Katie and Matt are gonna have a baby!  She has started her 14th week this week which is father than she has ever gotten.  Everything is going well.  Baby is growing well and so is Katie's belly.  Its fun to go through a pregnancy on this side of it, I get to be an Aunt!  (I already am but I get to hold this one)  My heart is already filled with so much love for this baby.  November can't get here fast enough!!!

One year ago....

One year ago today I was cradling my new sweet baby girl in my arms.  All 8lbs 10oz of her!  I CANNOT believe how fast this year has gone!  She is one little spitfire.  Unfortunately on her birthday we had to go for her one year check up, but she did great shots and all.  She is now 30" tall and 20lbs 14oz.  Still pretty long and in the middle in weight.   She is trying to walking down.  She will walk with help, even holding one hand, but if you let go, she will sit right down.....Unless she's on the grass, then she will just stand there.  Her favorite new thing is swimming in the pool.  Loving that!  She can say "hi" and is really speaking her own language other than that.  She is growing so fast and I am loving EVERY minute of it!  Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Correction

Just to Clarify.....because she is so amazing.  My sister Katie took the picture of Leah for her invitation!  I love them and have been taking advantage of her talents WAY too much lately! Thanks Kate!
