happy birthday

Since today is your big first birthday, I thought it an appropriate time to write. We had a birthday party for you on Saturday and Alivia, Brett, Mia, and Dana were all there. Alivia even got a bloody nose at some point during the party. It was some party let me tell you. Some of your adult friends were there too like grama, dad, Becca, Dan, George, Tony, and Melinda. You had such a good time and received so many wonderful gifts. You had a blast with the balloons thanks to grama and ate cake. While grama was here we went to the zoo, swimming pool, park, toys-r-us, and Chuck E. Cheese. You really had a great time with grama and she even babysat you two nights so your dad and I could go out together. We have moved into our new condo now and you love it. Everyone that works here and lives here calls you by name and talks to you whenever they see you. Carl, the building manager, even gave you a dollar bill for you birthday. You got a package from grammy and poppy today in the mail and a cow in the mail from Aunt Teen. Grandpa sent you a photo album with some funny pictures and keeps adding to it, which you love looking at. You've started telling me no when I tell you no. You understand many more words now and can tell us when you want milk or juice. You kiss your stuffed animals and yourself when you look in the mirror and I am working on you learning to blow kisses. You clap your hands when you are excited and love to sing and dance. You say hi to people all the time and your favorite part of the day is seeing daddy for the first time when he comes home from work. You get so excited that it makes his day. You make us laugh all the time with your new developments and I can't believe that a year has passed already! I love you baby and happy birthday!
