Grace's Busy Birthday Weekend

Grace has been a busy girl all weekend long. Between her party and having her Nana and Papa here, she (and we) have been going non-stop. Which makes for a cranky baby (and mommy & daddy) this Sunday evening. Hopefully once we get back to our normal schedule she will be a much happier camper.

So let's get to the photos. Here Grace is on her actual birthday - July 15 - opening presents and playing with some of her new toys.


On Friday, July 16, I had a to finish a questionnaire for the doctor before she had her one year appointment. One of the questions was if you give your child a marker or crayon will they scribble on the paper. Well I had figured she was to young to do this because I knew she would eat the marker, but here she is trying it out. She did scribble, and she did eat the marker too.



After we colored we headed to the pool for some fun since it has been so hot here.



This next photo is on Saturday morning. I kept forgetting that when she turned one I wanted to start marking how tall she is on the growth chart I got her a  few months ago. Here she is checking out how tall she is.



Now the party pictures. We had over 30 friends and family join us in our small condo. Grace got lots of fun new toys and clothes and had some fun eating her cake. We even got a great surprise from her Great-Uncle Mike who came in from Chicago. Here are a bunch of photos. Our friend Cameron got some great ones for us, but here are just a few.




Happy Birthday Grace! You are one - and your parents survived. Now onto the toddler years - how did that happen already?!
