Happy One Year Birthday, Sweetpea!

June 12 was a very exciting day for me. As I woke up in the morning, mommy and daddy were singing a new song to me! I did not exactly understand it at first, but it brought a very big smile to my face. They sang the "happy birthday" song to me throughout the day and I realized that it must be a very special day for me. They treated me extra special. Here is a picture of me that my mommy and daddy took of me. My mommy and daddy made this special hat for me. Here is a picture of me in it!



The very next day, I woke up to find my Lola standing with my Lolo! They visited me from Las Vegas! I could get used to this Happy Birthday thing! Looks like they were up to something. As I woke up from my nap, I found some strange funny looking things hanging on the wall. Here's what was in the eating room.



Here's what was in the formal living room.



Here's what was outside on the deck.



And there were these floaties up the air.



Then all of a sudden, people started arriving. First, my new friend Jackson and his parents came.



Then five minutes later, here is what my place looked like! I had lots of fun.



After a while, my mommy and daddy put the strange hat on me again with a homemade bib that mommy had made me. They set me in front of a big crowd of people and started singing my song again! I was very happy. Here is a picture of me!



Afterwards, everyone was cheering me on as I climbed up the steps to go to my bedroom to nap. Wow, what a day.


When I woke up, I found myself surrounded by these new presents! Here is a picture of me with gifts.



Thanks everyone for all your care and love this past year!
