Mackenzie's 1st Birthday!

My little baby is 1!! I can't believe a whole year has gone by in the flash of an eye. I've seen a newborn or two in the past few months, and it's hard to remember that she was ever that tiny.

We had a great day yesterday. M spent the morning at daycare while I got ready for our afternoon party. I picked her up at 1:30 so we'd be home in time for her 2pm nap. She's been napping about 2 hours when she's home in the afternoon, so I figured it would be better for her to get a nice long rest at home before the party. Babies are so smart. She knew something was different, maybe she could feel the energy was different - I picked her up early, dad was home early, everyone kept saying "happy birthday" to her at day care, so she knew something was different about the day. Anyway, I put her down at 2, but she just rolled around in her crib babbling, for over an hour. I was worried she wouldn't sleep at all and she'd be cranky for her party, but she finally crashed at 3:15. She had a late arrival to her own party, but it all worked out and we still had a happy baby.




I love this expression - so funny

Sheep in my mouth!


She could see herself in my camera phone and that's what made her smile.

We had the party in our upstairs party room, which was great. It was pretty low key, just a few of my mom friends and their kids, but I was so glad we had it, because it was nice marking the day with an event. M had fun playing with all her friends.
