Lillian's Paris Party

Lillian's first birthday was such a blast. I always do the kids first birthday in what I decorated their room with. So for Lillian her room is Paris and I thought it would be fun to have a Paris Cafe theme. We worked so hard to make it adorable and I think we did such a great job. Special thanks to Mimi for helping me make the decorations, to the balloon guy who came and made balloon art for all the kids and to everyone who made Lillian's day special by coming and celebrating.

We had a  French Cafe  menu by having Soups and Chicken salad and cheeses for lunch . And we had little hats and mustache props and we also had yummy poodle , and lip lollipops. It was so much fun and I hope Lillian looks back at her first birthday and loves it as much as I did. Happy First Birthday Sweet Girl.

and my personal favorite: NO! HaHa...
Your just so silly. You are such a funny girl. I know we have said this many times but you do things that make us laugh without even trying. Your personality reminds me of your daddy. Speaking of daddy ,you look just like your daddy. You love to play alone and are so laid back. Food, toys, nap and bath time and you are one happy kid. You are sleeping about the same . You get up twice a night and around 7 every morning. You are still taking two naps . Usually around 10 and then again around 2 and we try to have you in bed by 8 at night. Sometimes you cry and sometimes you go right to sleep but overall you do great in your bed. You love your sister. Harper sleeps in sometimes and the minute she gets up you clap your hands and smile so big when you see her the first time. It warms my heart. I do have to say when you are annoyed by your sister we all know. You cry and push her away..
Clothes: Size 9-12 months
Shoe : Size 3
Diapers : Size 3
Your are small just like your sister is. Here are your 12 month stats.
Weight: 18 lbs 7 oz ( 28th %)
Height: 28.3 in  (20th %)

You have four teeth and four teeth only. You eat amazing and all day! You love music and dancing.
WE JUST ADORE YOU!!

Here is a picture from your 12 month appointment. Beautiful in only a bow and a diaper!



We love you peanut and cannot wait to continue to watch you grow.

Summer at the Coast.

Every year we take advantage of the warm weather down at the coast with daddy. I look forward to this time of year even though it is so much work to travel 7 hours once a month for multiple months in a row but well worth the extra family time that we have. This year was very exciting because Lillian was able to enjoy it so much more this year and Harper went fishing at the coast for the first time. Let me tell you she did amazing and had a blast. Here are some fun pictures from the fun in the sun.

Here are my babies on the road!



 Lillian loves the sand!


First fishing catch at the coast!


WOW! GO HARPER!


Love these girls ! We call these the loofa suits! Ha...
