We did Lara's party a little earlier than her birthday this year, since we were heading out of town the day after her birthday. We went ahead and pretended like it was the real day!
When she woke up in the morning we had all of her gifts set out for her! She thought it was SO fun! :-)
 |
| Trying to get Lara to show me her "1" - unsuccessful.... |
 |
| Seeing her ladybug for the first time! LOVE this look on her face! |
 |
| So excited! |
 |
| Going to show daddy! |
 |
| Time to try out her new chair! I wasn't sure how well she would do in it yet.... |
 |
| Apparently our little climber had no problem! :-) |
 |
| Trying to figure out her birthday tent! |
 |
| "Daddy... how did you get in there?!?!?!" |
 |
| First time in! |
 |
| Coming out with two balls and a huge grin! |
 |
| Awww - this is the life! A new chair, a new ladybug and two balls in my hands :-) |
 |
| Birthday balloons! (Too bad she has a sad swollen cheek.... :-( When I went to feed Lara breakfast, I put her in her chair and strapped her in. I turned around to get her food and when I turned back she was falling face first into the tile floor... Apparently her chair wasn't strapped onto the kitchen chair :-( We all three cried for a while and had lots of blood, but when it was all over, she had just bitten the side oif her cheek and had a little bruise and some swelling. But, that didn't stop this girl from being the life of the party just a couple hours later! I guess we did pretty good to not have a catostrophic fall for the whole first year... and now I suppose we can say that we survived the first (of I'm sure many more to come...) |
