Lilly’s special day

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Lilly had a very happy birthday! I think she knew it was her special day. I was so excited for her to wake up this morning, and see her decorations!

These are the best pictures I took of Lilly seeing her decorations. I was holding Lilly on my hip, and trying to aim the camera just right, it was tricky.

I just love this princess nightgown on Lilly!

Jimmy and I decorated late last night, it was a lot of fun doing our first girl party!

I showed Lilly how to blow on the streamers to make them move, and every time we would walk by them, she would blow up at them :)

We had a fun family party tonight. The house was packed, there were 29 of us here to celebrate Lilly’s 1st birthday!

the party cake

Lilly’s very own cake

We played Snow White’s poison apple game. Jimmy had the black bag with the poison apple, and a regular apple in it. The kids took turns trying to get the regular apple, and every kid got the poison apple their first try! Most of them got it their second time around too, and we thought maybe Jimmy rigged it, and put 2 poison apples in it with no regular apples. It took a lot of tries, but finally each kid chose the regular apple, and earned their prize bag.

We also had everyone write down their guess of the value of Lilly’s weight in gold, (Note: This wasn’t measuring her worth in gold, that would not be possible, she is PRICELESS! We were measuring the value of her weight in gold ;) Lilly weighs 20 pounds, and the rate of gold today was $39.0096 per gram. 20 pounds is 9071.85 grams so Lilly’s weight in gold would equal $353,899.24. My dad got the closest on that guess. We also had them guess how many tiaras tall Lilly was. She is 8 1/2 tiaras tall, Kirty won that guess.

I was so excited to see Lilly with her cake!

Lilly wasn’t so sure about the squishy frosting :)

It was so funny to see her concerned about her messy hands. She hasn’t ever cared before, but then again, I don’t think she’s ever had her hands this messy.

She loved feeding Daddy!

She loves to hold things in her mouth without hands :)

Lilly loved her baby Princess Cinderella, and baby Princess Belle.

Happy girl!

She got so many fun, and cute things!

I’ve been waiting months to see her in these ballerina jammies, and she was even cuter than I had pictured her in them!

Lilly heard me say “prayer” while I was talking, and she folded her arms for a prayer! What a sweetie pie! It was a great day! We are so thankful for our princess!

Happy 1st birthday Lillian!

Our princess Lilly Belle is one year old today! I can hardly believe it! The year has gone by so fast, yet it’s also strange to think of a time when Lilly wasn’t here with us. We would all be lost without our sweet little Lilly! Oh, how we love her so much!! Looking back through her baby pictures made me tear up as I realized how fast she is growing up. I wish I could pull that newborn baby girl out of the pictures, and hold her all day. What an angel she is!

Lilly today at 1 year! Her sign says, “I love to scream LOUD!! I learned the sign for “more”, and when I’m hungry, or want more food, I sign it. I give high-5′s! I roll so fast! I love dancing to music, and I’m super cute!”

I love you so much Lilly! You are a dream come true! Happy first birthday sweetheart!

Lilly’s phones

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Lilly loves phones, and anything can be a phone to her! This totally reminds me of Zeke at this age too! I even did a post about it found here. It’s so funny, they are almost the exact age, Zeke is only a week and a half younger in his phone stage.

This picture doesn’t go with the “phone” theme, but it does go with the “cute new things Lilly is doing” theme :) She folds her arms for prayers, and blessings on the food, it’s darling!
