Happy Birthday Kaleigh Girl!


So.... Good thing that I have a few more years of practice on making cute B-Day cakes before she cares too much. I think I tried to cook it, cool it down and transfer onto a plate before the cake was ready. I ended up destroying it. Luckily the frosting helped it look a little better!


Kaleigh is a good sport! She walked right to her cake on the ground and dug right in! I am afraid she ate too much of it though, because she threw-up after! O-Well, it was worth the fun she had playing in it!

Nice and Clean again!

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY KALEIGH!
I can not believe that our little girl is already a year old. Time goes by way too fast! Some of the highlights of Kaleigh when looking back on her first year are...
1- Her little tongue. It is rarely inside her mouth, but rather, always moving around outside her mouth!
2- Crawling. She is the most dramatic little crawler! She puts her head down, swings her arms really high and slams them to the ground each time and charges to her destination! So funny!
3-Her smile. Kaleigh has the biggest smile! It takes up her whole face. We love it so much and are so glad it happens often! My family started saying "SUPER HAPPY" to her and she would smile huge and bend her head over. So funny!
4- Walking! This was probably one of the funnest things to see! Kaleigh started taking steps about a month ago, and is now unstoppable. Don't you think babies are so cute right when they start walking? The legs go side to side rather than in front of them! Trev loves chasing her and making her try to go faster than her legs can take her! She loves it too.
5- Of course.... TALKING! Kaleigh is starting to talk so much! Her favorite words are Cheerio, Hi (to everyone!), nigh-night, bathy, dog, I-love-you, and calling her mom "meg" rather than mom. She is even starting to say the animal sounds! We are having so much fun teaching her, and it is so rewarding when they start understanding!
The only thing that has not been fun is... trying to get her to take a sippy cup rather than a bottle! Any suggestions?

cute happy birthday to her.. I think the cake looks yummy. So funny to that she is calling you Meg, Savannah just started doing that and it's so funny but drives me nuts too. I have no advice on the sippy cup thing I was lucky and Savannah took it at like 7 months and we just got rid of the bottle at 1.. She will take it soon though I bet Good luck

I love that she was all over her cake. What a cutie. It still weirds me out that she's 1. So fun.

Happy birthday!!!
I empathize with the sippy cups. Anna did great with the transition, but Bryton was a nightmare. It got to the point where I had to just put the bottles where he couldn't get 'em. He went about 36 hours without drinking anything, but then he gave in and used the sippy. stubborn child.

Hey Meg, looks like a fun birthday. We skipped the sippy cup thing. We let them have their bottle until 18 months or so, but also started introducing regular cups (with small amounts of liquid). We found that with our wild boys sippy cups just spilled everywhere anyway.

Tell Trevan congrats on the book.
