On Wednesday the 12th (Nate's birthday) we flew to Utah and spent the night with my brother and his family in Bountiful and Thursday morning (Josslyn's birthday) we headed up to Logan. First thing when we got there was we had to eat at Chili's! Nate and I LOVE Chili's, but the only one in the entire Western half of Washington is in Seatac Airport. WHAT?!?
We have Josslyn's birthday party that night at the Pizza Pie Cafe in Logan. It was perfect! So many people came and we had such a great time. Josslyn got so many presents and had so much fun seeing all the kids and eating her favorite thing...pasta.
Mom, can I have more?!
So many presents! We were able to fit pretty much everything from her birthday into our suitcase, only had to leave two things from Christmas behind to get sent on later.
Super cute cake from Shaffer's Bakery in Logan. They gave a free small one for Josslyn to destroy and eat. It was amazing. I was so nervous about ordering over the phone from two states away, but they did a really great job!
My gorgeous baby girl. Doesn't that smile just say it all? What would I do without her?
This is pretty much the extent of the cake eating. She played for a second. Nate made her eat some and she spit it out and played with the toys on it instead.
Give the baby kisses!
We had such a great time! Thank you everyone that came and helped and was there for us. We were so happy to be able to share this moment with everyone!
We also did Christmas with our families while we were there. Since Nate and Josslyn's birthdays are right in between the holidays, we did what we could to get everything squeezed in while we were there. We went to the Zoo Lights at Hogle Zoo with Nate's family and we had such a good time. It was raining pretty hard, but we bundled up the kiddos so good that Josslyn promptly fell asleep and missed the whole thing!
We went bowling with my family on Saturday, and we are super competitive. I didn't loose! Yeah! And Josslyn slept through most of this experience...I swear this kid doesn't sleep this much at home, we must have just worn her out or something.
We stayed at Little America Friday and Saturday night and it was so fun! We went swimming and played and generally made a mess. Josslyn LOVES the pool. She would splash all around and then look to make sure I was watching and wave like crazy and then splash and laugh some more. It was so fun!
I didn't take many pictures obviously. Too enthralled with the moment I
guess! But here's a good one right before we went to the airport to come
home to rainy Washington!
Happy Birthday to the two best people in my life and thank you everyone for coming to share it with us. Can't believe my baby is one!
Okay...here are Josslyn's ONE YEAR STATS!
-Josslyn is 19 lbs. 13 oz. (Pretty tiny. I'm not sure of the percentiles, but we love our little girl.)
-She is 28.5 inches tall
-She can eat pretty much anything you set in front of her, but she really hates weird textures.
-We are starting this week to get her off bottles and onto milk.
-She is WALKING all over. About a week after Thanksgiving she decided she didn't really need to crawl anymore and finally let go of the furniture. She is starting to get so much faster, and it's so cute to watch her walk all over the house and tell stories and play with toys.
-Josslyn LOVES music and dances to pretty much any TV theme song but especially Big Bang Theory and Phineas and Ferb.
-Josslyn has four teeth in full and three more have broken through. All up front right in the middle, she started with her very front teeth and is working outward. She love to use them. You give her the tiniest cracker and she will bite it off instead of just sticking the whole thing in her mouth.
We hope everyone is having an amazing holiday season!
