Alaina has always been pretty vocal, but she has been especially chatty these past couple weeks. She finds a way to make us laugh on a daily basis. We both think she’ll be getting in trouble for talking during class in the future.

Alaina had her first birthday party over the weekend. It was very neat to see all of our family and friends and all of their children over playing and eating loads of cake. At the height of the party there were 12 kids under the age of 8 and a couple more that will soon be joining the club in a very short time!

Picture Descriptions:
1) She didn’t dig into her cake as much as we hoped. Although, the sugar did keep her up and going well past her bed time.
2) We were warned that a group shot of the kids wouldn’t work. As you can see, this picture is missing about 2/3 of them…
3) We did it. We made it through the first year!
4) Claire baked the cake and made the icing. Her sister Julie helped decorate.

Alaina had a great time with her cousins Caleb and Nathan this weekend. They spent the night Friday and all day Saturday playing with her and tending to her every need. She is already looking forward to more quality time when she spends the night at their house in a couple weeks!

Alaina is starting to find that walking is much more efficient than crawling…even if it is assisted. She loves pushing this cart across the family room. She hasn’t quite figured out how to turn it around, so instead she’ll just play with the toys on the cart, or find something else to do.

We’re also anticipating Alaina’s one year birthday which is just two short weeks from today!

Alaina enjoyed her first pool experience!  We bought a pop up pool with a 50 spf canopy.  There’s enough room for her and me with room to spare.  I am excited to use it a lot this summer.

It is hard to believe that just a couple short weeks ago, Alaina started to crawl. Now she is really interacting with her toys that once served as colorful, noisy distractions.
