Happy Early Bday, Little B!

Here's a quick rundown on the end of our week before the big party update. On Thursday it stormed so we stayed in all day and had to miss our make-up Kindermusik and playgroup decided not to meet. On Friday B, Katie, and I did some last minute errands for the party. On Friday night Marme, Katie, and I went to Attie's to get things ready.

The party was a success. We had a wonderful time and I want to thank everyone who came. B received lots of wonderful gifts and had so much fun opening them and playing with the wrapping paper and ribbon. B didn't take a morning nap so she fell asleep in Momma Lady's arms and slept through most of the party. When she woke up she was in a great mood and full of energy. For the first time she pulled herself up on her walking toy and pushed it around. And she took a couple of steps on her own--from furniture to me--well, actually she took one step two different times. She also stood by herself three or four times for at least 5 seconds. Attie taught her how to make a fish face, which is precious. Thanks to everyone who helped me set up the party! It was so much fun!

Today I gave B her cake again and she went nuts. The pics are proof!

She did a trick earlier in the week that I didn't report. She started to try to do the little hand motions to "Itsy Bitsy Spider" when I sing it. It's very cute.

There's also a pic of Betsy holding a picture of my dear friend Terri's new baby girl. Terri lives in Australia and I haven't seen her in six years. I can't wait for our babies to meet one day.
