Happy Birthday Bella!

My little sweetheart is 1 today! We celebrated early with Grandma on Friday the 13th. She had a great time eating bbq, cake, and opening all her presents. We decided she is a true Texan because she cried when we took this away:


Her cake was delicious. Cherry chip cake with cherry frosting. It was my 1st attempt at making a birthday cake from "scratch". Luckily Grandma was there to help.


Opening presents was lots of fun. She got a rolling animal zoo from Mamo and Papa. Grandma and Grandpa gave her some new walking shoes. Hopefully she will be walking someday... She did start pulling herself up to stand last week. Now I can't get her to sit down. Her sisters and Mom and Dad got her some new clothes and Aunt Christa sent her a new book! We had a great day celebrating.


Birthday Milestones
Words you can say:
Dada

Have been caught babbling the following phrases (not really but it sounds like it):
Yea
Ok
Thank You
Mmmmm

Mobile?
Not yet, but neither were you sisters. You're just barely starting to pull to standing. No cruising yet. You climbed one stair on the 13th.

Happy Birthday Anabelle! We love you so much and are so happy you are part of our family!

She's adorable! It's hard to believe that she's already ONE! And I was weeping during that darling video you made by the way. Good job.

Oh, and Whitney said that she had mentioned to you about car pooling up to Kansas.....you up for it?
