Birthday Number One

One year ago last night, Mikey and I came home with our baby girl, had a moment in the living room as a family of three, and began our new life.

And what a great life! One year into it, it gets better and better every day. On Saturday and Sunday we celebrated this fact as we celebrated our one-year-old Katie Pearl. A birthday photo essay …

 

LOVE this “happy birthday” banner I found on etsy.com

fascinated by her balloons

pre-gaming on some cheerios before the party

kp’s smash cake, celebrating her most favorite part of the day: bath time

one cake for the birthday girl and one for everybody else to share … sounds about right

things started off clean enough

she ate every single marshmellow “bubble” before digging into the rest of the cake

… then she picked it up and ate it like a cheeseburger

all in all, i’ve seen worse messes

once she gets over being terrified of them, kp loves her cousins

breakfast on her actual birthday morning … poor leftover balloons

eating like the princess she knows she is

you gotta OWN the birthday tutu to pull it off

scooter: best toy ever in kp’s mind

contemplating the best matrix by which to arrange her new letter magnets
