Boy do babies grow up fast. She is still little, but she is so big! She has the personality in her face of a little girl, not a tiny baby. She is taking steps on her own. Her new fav game is "here you go", where you hand a toy back and forth saying "here you go" "thank you". She has yet to say thank you, but she does a really good here you go. :) If the kids are watching TV she climbs her self up into the little rocking chair, sits, watches, rocks. She also climbs herself up into big sisters desk and sits pointing and talking about whatever drawing Rhiannon left there. She's one.
Oh my gosh I'm in a picture! But I had to tell Matt, "now take one without my head cut off". sigh..
Some how my babies always end up like this at their first birthday parties. Asleep in Grandpa's arms.
This girl loves stuffed toys. She totally guilted me into buying her a $15 miny pillow pet a couple weeks ago. She just got so sad when we walked away. She bounces out of her skin when she sees a live animal, and I think the stuffed ones are the next best thing to her.
Rhiannon finally got to have the party at her house she always asks for. We had a Christmas and a Thanksgiving at our home when Mikey was brand new, but that was forever ago to her. 
She kept that hat on till it fell off. She loves to where hats, head bands, sun glasses.. She gets a huge grin, and the head gear stays on her head! She feels all pretty and keeps it on. We'll see if that one lasts!
Not afraid to get messy
Cheese grin
And of course, they needed the pinata. And again, it was not too look like a person or animal. They would not let me get the cute lady bug one. Even the sun's smiley face was a bit iffy for Rhiannon.
Kaitlyn watched hanging on to her non candy pinata loot. Notice the chickens. It may or may not have been a good idea to let them run around while small children swung a big stick wildly through the air, often making contact with the ground. I was worried for a moment when the first of the candy hit the ground and they came running to check it out, but they at least were smart enough to not get close. I don't know if smart is the right word to describe a chicken, but it all turned out ok anyway.
And our girl is one. If I think to hard about it, it is horribly sad that her little baby stage is over so quickly. But on the other hand, I watched her fall asleep on my lap tonight looking at her so grown up face thinking about how she will soon be a 3 year old like Mikey, a 5 year old like Rhiannon. I get to watch another little person become who she will be, and that is so cool.
