Addilyn's Birthday

Addi's birthday was so much fun. We started the morning off making a giraffe cake. After a nap (only Addi unfortunately) we headed to Grammie and Granddad's for cake and swimming. We didn't want to do TOO much celebrating without my side of the family so we decided to save the presents for when my parents are in town for Bryan's graduation. We did cake first and while my little girl was shy at first, once daddy helped her have a small taste she... ummm... dug right in. So, for those of you who wish they could have seen her in action, I will provide you with a play by play. (I know, how EXCITING!!)

1. innocent giraffe cake that Mommy spent far too much time on, minding his own business.
2. I wonder if this flickering thing will hurt me. We should have taken a time out and had her watch Amanda Jergensen's little girl's birthday video. Luckily Bryan was a little quicker than Cameryn's daddy. ;)
3. After Daddy giving me a little nibble from his finger I think I may taste a bite... while remaining a dignified lady, of course.
4. You know, this crap ain't bad...

5. YUMMY! I could get use to this. Is this how Mommy is going to let me eat now that I'm a big girl? I'm digging in!6. Oh yeah, bizzo! This giraffe is going DOWN! (***Note: This picture makes me giggle because she has her lip wrapped around her fingers.)
6. Oh... ummm... am I being un-lady-like? Do I have something on my face? Oopsy...
7. What have we here? An WHOLE PIECE of this cake, as they call it? I wonder if I can fit the entire thing in my little one year old mouth... 8. I believe I can. Look at me go!!! Mommy ain't got nothing on me! (***Not true. I can eat cake like no body's business.***)9. Hugs. My new best friend.

Addilyn's cake eating experience is only trumped by the Ladies' first birthday. When Kelly tried to take Grace's cake away from her (which she had one hand FIRMLY on, while eating furiously with the other) she SCREAMED bloody murder. Seriously, Bloody Murder!!!
