I forget how big of a deal a sibling's birthday is. Sarah and Henry were more excited about Erica's birthday than she was. Well, since she didn't even know it was her birthday, that wasn't hard to do.
Here Sarah is explaining to me that we were kind of, sorta, in a way giving Erica a surprise birthday party since she didn't know it was her birthday.
She had a point.
We started off the day by singing Happy Happy Birthday Erica Dear to her while she was in her crib. Then Sarah insisted she have her breakfast out of the red birthday bowl.
Then we went to Macey's to get her a birthday balloon.
She was very excited to see her finished cake. I should have taken pictures of it without her first.
We ate dinner at the park. This is probably her first and last birthday at the park. Even though it was a warm day, it got cold pretty fast once the sun went down.
Sisters.
She got a Little People school and a new nightstand and lamp for her room.
She was very excited to grab her cake. But actually eat it? Not so much.
She still managed to make quite a mess.
~~~~~A few things about Erica~~~
Weight: 17 lb 3 oz (All my babies have been 17 lbs at one year)
Length: 28 3/4 inches
Teeth: 2 bottom coming in, 2 on top (Not the center, but the sides. It's going to look funny. Can't wait)
Loves her blanket, ball spinner, eating, watching kids play outside, slides and swings, snuggles, books (playing with, not reading) swinging doors, making messes, two minute baths, being held.
Does not like getting her clothes changed, sitting in her highchair, sitting in a grocery cart, sitting at church, strangers, being even slightly hungry, being alone, baths longer than two minutes.
I love one. And that dimple above her eyebrow.
