Well Miss Cayley... One year down only 17 more to go!

Today we celebrated Miss Cayleys birthday. Just as she came into this world at 8:08 am a year ago today, she woke up demanding her father wake up shortly after 8 am this morning.

We have been through so much this past year and Cayley has changed our lives like only a child can. She has made our love reach places within us that both Man Child and I doubted existed anymore. We have been through high fevers and crawling, teething and a prune juice diaper blowout. She has had supermarket meltdowns that have both embarrassed me and have given me joy from seeing so much of my stubbornness shine through her. She never fails to leave a trail of Cheerios from one end of my house to another. Her laughing, new found love for high fives, and wet kisses are what get us through each day. We have so, so much to be grateful for because of Miss Cayley. We celebrate her progress, growth and good health, thankful that we are so lucky.

Here are some pictures and video from today.


Morning!
What?!? It is my birthday and you STILL have not wrapped my presents?
Well... What are you waiting for?

Hey ya'll! Its my BIRTHDAY!
Ha! Do you really expect me to take a nap?
Thank you Sassy Auntie Rebecca for the party dress! The compliments are starting to make be blush.




Hmmm... What is this?

Mmmm... This is good!
Duck!
Sugar!
So uh, whose cleaning me up?
Wow! I always wanted one of these!


My first baby doll!
Kisses for my doll! I made out like a bandit! I got alot of awesome noisy stuff!






Grandpa's hoping I become a "Dolph-FAN!"


The aftermath...
So, Miss Cayley, this past year has been a blast. I love you. Happy Birthday.

Aww! I can't believe she is one already! I love all the pictures. She looks so adorable in that dress. I love it!

And the football stuff makes me laugh. it reminds me of Ernie's dad. He wants her to be a Patriot's fan!

I'm glad she had a good birthday and it looks like she got lots of good loot!
