Birthday Celebration

May 10th, 2008 Lilly Kate's first birthday. We made it! The anticipation to the first birthday is so fun. Lilly's is oblivious to it all of course, but she won't be next year. It makes me sad that she is already a year old but happy at the same time. We got to have Sugar and Nanny there which was fabulous. They both helped a ton. Cari and Alan and the kids got to come too, which was fabulous, also. The theme was flowers. We had a lot of fun. First the girls tossed flower bean bags into a basket. Then Lilly had her first piece of cake. You should have seen her face when I handed it to her, she looked at me like I crazy for giving it to her. So I put some on my finger, put it in her mouth then she went to town. She was covered from top to bottom in cake. So cute. After opening gifts, as we were cleaning up I walked over to Lilly and gave her a kiss on the forehead and she was burning up. So we hurried home and got some Motrin for her and it went down. A little later it went back up and so on for two days. Then out popped 4 teeth. Poor thing she must have been miserable. She had been toddling around everything for a couple of weeks before that, holding on to everything. Man the second those teeth quit bothering her she was walking around everywhere. Luke says "Mom, we need to teach her to run now!" I'm thinking No Way, but as we all know they figure that one out all by themselves. So overall her first birthday was a huge success! She had fun, ate cake, got 4 front teeth and a new found independence. All in a weeks time! You go girl!
