She's 1 !!!

It's hard to believe, but our baby girl has turned a year old! We had a party on Wednesday with neighbors and friends. Grandma Margie got here just in time to celebrate. Chad and Cassidy were busy blowing up balloons before and once guests started arriving the fun began. Of course they had to get through the "official" welcoming commitee.

When it was time for cake, Cassidy was set at the head of the table and throughly enjoyed the new tastes, as soon as she got over every one staring at her! It's hard to tell, but look closely at her feet. When she's excited, we call it her "happy feet" as they are dancing around like crazy!
After we finished eating all the finger foods and cake, it was time for serious baby fun. Cassidy's good friend Jack (8 1/2 mos) and Maddie (almost 13 mos) played really well together and had lots of fun. It was great for the adults too to see the different stages and how they interact.


Jack and his parents Josh and Stacey stayed the night, so the two babies had their first co-ed bath. They were quite a pair and very cute!


Friday night we had another, much quieter party opening gifts. Cassidy recieved some very sweet gifts from her wonderful friends Auntie Carmen, Bobbe and John, Josh and Stacey, Grandma O, and a home made hat from Kathleen. Thank you all!

Saturday the Bellingham clan came down to party! MacKenzie also came over for the party. Grandma and Grandpa P. brought Cassidy a new wagon which she instantly started climbing in and out of! It will be great for "road trips" over to the horses and this summer.

Cassidy worked the room while we were getting ready to eat. She quickly had Great Grandpa eating out of her hand, and Auntie Lisa and Alexa at her fingertips!

Then came the cake. Cassidy was a little quicker than Mom this go around, now that she is used to the whole party thing, and was drawn to the candles and ready to dive in!

Cassidy got more wonderful gifts and cute clothes. She is definitely getting the hang of this present thing. In fact, she decidewhen we were going to start by going over to the pile and grabbing a bag!

Thank you every one for coming, it was a great day. We missed Caden and Ryan due to a basketball tournament, Great Aunt Mary to Portland, and Lori and Lindsey as Linds wasn't feeling well, but had a good time and our girl has officially survived her first year, and so did I!!!
