Birthday Party!


We had Kyra's party tonight (it worked out well since Jeremy has Wednesday and Thursday off). It was a great time with family and friends. The only thing missing was our out-of-town/state family and friends. I decided to do cupcakes instead of cake for her because they're so much easier to serve. I also decided to take the easy route and had the guy who made our wedding cake make the cupcakes (so much less stress and so yummy!). Our "theme" was simply bright colors and we made the party easy on ourselves by just doing hamburgers, hotdogs, fruit, veggies, and all the trimmings. It was a lot of fun! Don't the cupcakes look delicious?!?!

Kyra not so sure about everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to her. I think she'd have preferred we sing the "Hokey Pokey" 'cause she just loves to put her arms in and out and shake them all about...it's quite cute!

Aunty Amy giving her her 1st bite (we were also celebrating my uncle, my grandpa, and my birthday so I couldn't give her the cupcake 'cause I was blowing out my candle!)

Her tentativeness didn't last long! On the 2nd bite she put her whole face into it!

now that's some good stuff!


Once she decided it was edible, there was no stopping her! Though, she did want Aunty Amy to feed it to her for a while!


Aunty Amy got a few bites herself...notice the bib on the back of the chair not being used...

That icing is DELICIOUS!
Aunty Amy bathed her shortly after this...

opening gifts


Here she is (after Aunty Amy gave her a bath) opening presents with her cousins

My mom started making this quilt a week or so before Kyra was born and gave it to her tonight for her 1st birthday present. It turned out sooo CUTE! I'm so excited for Kyra to have a SunBonnet Baby quilt made by her Gramma Debbi! My dad made her a toy box that turned out really nice (exactly what I was hoping for!), we don't have a picture of it at the moment but we'll take one and put it up soon!

yikes!

Has it really been since July 1st that I last posted?!?! I'm a blog slacker. We had friends and family in town from July 3rd through July 10th, and spent most of that week up in the mountains and then have spent this past week trying to catch-up. But, I vow to return this week with pictures and news! So, stay tuned!

Naked baby Wednesday


It's hot, hot, hot here today. Kyra is grumpy, grumpy,grumpy today (teething I believe). So, she's hanging out in her diaper and I'm counting down the hours 'til bedtime...





adventures in self-feeding


Broccolli and pasta are yummy!
