Third the birthday cake. I must applaud my mom and I because this is homemade and all creative thinking. Tay loved the icing! When I gave her her own peace she was quite delicate at first and then dived into it! I don't have a pic to put up but there is one on facebook.
And finally blowing out the birthday candles and making a wish!
It was so fun to celebrate her birthday she was the best birthday girl ever. I am so thankful for her. She has a special gift of spreading joy to everyone around her. She has always been so in tune with me. Their was many things that didn't go perfectly around her birth but the one thing that was perfect all along was her. Her joy of life and love she has is uncanny. She truly is a gift and pure heaven. Her spirit is so innocent and pure. When we were watching general conference every time they would sing she would immediately be still, listen and sing. I bet that sounded so familiar to her. I love how she is talking so much now. She says, "Yeah Yeah" all the time and "baby." I loved when she says momma or dadda. When she was younger she use to wait in her highchair and go mmmmmmom and yell it at me. She can stand all by herself and even is brave enough to take some steps as long as you are holding on to her. She doesn't growl as often anymore but use to all the time. Loves her blankets and cuddles them all the time. Love at bedtime when I get to occasionally cuddle with her (her choice not mine.) and is so content and beautiful. Love when I put her in bed, doesn't cry and just plays until she falls asleep. Loves reading books, turning pages, lifting up pop-ups. Loves feeding herself, being outside, walking around with Grammy doing chores. Loves Grandad glasses and half the time wants him for that. (just kidding Grandad). Gets so excited when I put on barney and giggles. Stuff animals are her favorite along with emptying drawers, shevles and bins. Points to everything she wants. Drinks from a zippy cup with a straw. Her personality is so fun! She is so special and is my strength. I thank Heavenly Father for her everyday and her health. I can't believe she is one! I can't wait to experience many more birthdays and reflect on the memories every year.
