Happy Birthday V (part 1 of 2)

Saturday July 18th, we had Violet's first birthday party. It was a small party with only our families.

Of course we had to go buy a cute birthday outfit (which just so happened to match one of her super-cute bows)!




Here she is walking between John and me. Isn't that outfit the cutest?!


And here she is pushing the walker toy around.


What a big girl! Seriously, she is SOOOO close to walking by herself! She stands up in the middle of the floor and takes a few steps, falls down, stands back up and takes a few more! I'm SO close to being in trouble! =)

Back to the party...after everyone ate some lunch, it was cake time!

Once she's old enough to care, we'll probably get a "themed" cake!


So, V does not like trying new things. Here's John forcing her to eat some of the icing.


"Please don't make me eat anymore of that nasty stuff, I hate it!"


So yeah, V's first go at cake was unsuccessful. I do believe after a few more tastes, she'll start to like it though. Pretty much everything she tries for the first time she doesn't like (except yogurt, which we tried last night and she loved it!).

Part 2 will cover the presents (and my art project)!

Oh, and if you're interested, I started another blog for all my randomness (which I'm full of!), so check it out if you want!
