Holly is 1 Today!!

Oh, a day in the life of Holly. This morning she decided to sleep in, not getting up until after 8! However, her Mommy was up much earlier to answer the text messages, phone calls, and emails that started coming in to wish her a Happy Birthday!! I was starting to think, "This child needs her own Blackberry." After breakfast she had some playtime with all her new toys and was riding her pony while we watched the today show!

After a short while, it was back to her crib for a little snooze. She must have known she was going to be going on a little outing because she curled right up and went to sleep. While she slept, her wonderful Nanny, Carol, stopped by to give her pink roses and a balloon.

When she got up it was time to go shopping! Bob and I took her to Almassian Jewelers to get her a little something special to remember her 1st Birthday. Lucky little girl, I didn't get my first pearl bracelet until I was 29!! She loved it, and was even wearing it for a while before she thought it would be a good teething toy... I tried hinting to Bob that maybe Mommy needed a little jewelry to celebrate my first year of motherhood, but I must have been to subtle.

We stopped for lunch. No fine restaurants for this babe (yet), she will only eat where they serve yogurt and crackers!! Maybe next year we will try sushi!

After a couple more errands, it was time to get her home for her afternoon nap. She was pretty excited when she woke up....

Happy Little Birthday Girl

It's fun to be 1!

Before the days end, Holly had a visit from Poppy and Grandma Coulter and her new boyfriend, Henry, who also brought her some roses. From the looks of it, I think she is thinking, "Yuck, Boys have Cooties!" Or maybe she is like her Mommy and not to fond of nature...

She got a couple more phone calls and one more delivery from American Girl Dolls, thanks again Mike, Jill, and Henry for her dolly!!

Right on time at 7:30 she was ready for her bath and off to bed. What a fabulous day!! We want to thank all our family and friends once again for making this day so special.
