Happy 1st birthday Delaney!

I can't believe our little baby is really one! This means no more bottle, self-feeding, starting to walk, starting to talk and so much more! It's been such a wonderful year with her (and fast!). She is such a sweet, cuddly, energetic little girl. She makes us laugh ALL the time and we just love having our little Laney.

We had her birthday party at the park and so many family members were able to make it. It was very low-key with a ladybug theme. The kids had a blast playing at the playground and Laney was content to play in the sand. I actually had to drag her away, crying, to go open presents! She was most interested in putting a box of tights in and out of a gift bag. That kept her busy while I opened presents. She got lots of clothes, some toys, a new toy organizer for her room, a suitcase, and money. Great presents!

Then came the cake. She ended up with a rather large first birthday cake due to a screw-up at the bakery...long story. I was not too happy that it was black and red (I asked for white but whatever!). She took one taste and then proceeded to demolish the cake. I have never seen a baby eat so much cake! Of the eight grandkids she was definitely the most interested! Someone said we should call her Laney Cake, not Laney Bug. :)
Look at that cake and look at that girl! Unbelievably enough Christian and I were able to clean her up in the bathroom sink and although her skin was a bit tinted, she looked great! We played for a little while longer and then everyone headed home.
For the remainder of the day, she was quite fussy. I'm not sure if it was being tired or a tummyache, but I suspect a combination of both. It was a happy day!
