Happy 1st Birthday

Last Wednesday (11-11) was our little boy's first birthday and I am a little late posting photos! As a family we decided to keep the day low key - just us and little man. We lavished him with attention and little snacks. Since he has been a late comer to food, we decided to forego the traditional cake and just stick to baby puffs that a friend brought back with them from the United States. Here are a few photos of his special day.

Happy Birthday

Yesterday was our first born's 3rd birthday. She has been talking about "Happy Birthday" for a weeks now. I even had a paper countdown to help her realize how much time is required. I was super excited myself because this was to be the first birthday she has shown interest. I decided to go "all out" and give her what she asked for. Here are the photos with captions included.

Her toy's left a trail showing her where to go.
She was thrilled to see her toys out. She squealed "LOOK!"

Each of her toys got her a present.
She made certain to thank each and give kisses.

She was tickled with the party blowers.

She picked up the box and shook it asking, "what's that?"
I love her stunning blue eyes.

Sister insisted on playing with each item after opening it.
She is enjoying her new putty and cutters.

She loved her new Peppa Pig noisy book!

Her favorite part - singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out candles.
She insisted we do this three times.

So much fun!

Finally enjoying the sponge cake.

Happy 3rd Birthday to my sweet baby girl! You are such a joy and so filled with life. We can't imagine our lives without you.

Happy 1st Birthday, Adah!

Our sweet little one turned 1 today! What a joy she has been to our lives. We have had sleepless nights and lazy days. We have enjoyed laughter and tears. We have enjoyed jokes and giggles. We have watched her learned to sit up and roll over and crawl. We have held her in our arms and rocked her to sleep. We have watched those tiny teeth pop through and shared in her pain. We have enjoyed hearing little babbles and helped her learn your first words. We have wrested and rolled in the floor with her and kissed her many bruises. We have played games and read stories. We have sung many songs and shared many prayers. We have shared many food messes and lots of snuggles. She is such a wonder and enjoyment who loves to smile. Our lives would not be so enjoyable without her in it! We are truly blessed.

SURPRISE!
