My Baby Girl Turned ONE!

Oh how time flies when you're having fun and when you're the mother of a baby! My sweet baby girl is moving on to toddlerhood and for me, it's a mixture of emotions. It's so exciting to watch her grow and change each day, but it's sad that her babyhood is behind us. Ella turned 1 on January 31st. Her birthday party was so much fun! We had some close friends and family come over to celebrate with us. Here's some pictures from the celebration...

Holding on to Mommy tight cuz she didn't like all the people showing up. Every time someone new showed up, she would burst into tears. It was sad, but cute. After everyone was here, she had a blast and was all smiles the rest of the day.

Pushing her baby around the house for everyone to see her skills

Waving hi!

Cutest little tushy ever!

She's ok in this picture, but she was about to get real mad cuz others wanted to push the stroller too. Guess we need to work on our sharing skills.

Sweet little hands

She got the hang of it real fast

All done!

I chose an owl theme of "Guess Whoo's Turning 1?"

Here's some pictures of the party decorations.
