Baylee's 1st birthday party

We celebrated Baylee's first birthday with all our closet family and friends.  It was so much fun.  It was a ladybug theme.  Baylee was a ladybug for Halloween (at Addy's request) and Eric calls her BayleeBug, so I figured it was perfect.  I had so much fun planning the party.  We had games for the kids to play.  I made a ladybug ball throw.  My dad made a ladybug beanbag toss game for me.  But, the most favorite game of all was the small swimming pool that I filled with balls to create a ball pit.  The little ones played inside it and the older kids threw the balls at each other.  It was a total of $8....I could have just done that and everyone would have had just as much fun.

I can't believe that Baylee is one year old.  She is growing so fast.  She is trying to walk.  She will take about 3 steps before she gets worried and sits down.  If she is really motivated and distracted, she will take a few more steps.  It won't be long before she is running all over our house!

May 2011

Yes, I am really behind.  But, I figure I better get caught up before Baylee's birthday party.  I will have lots of pictures!

May was a wonderful month.  Baylee got her first haircut.  We celebrated my first Mother's Day.  We got to see my cousin Tiffany graduate from High School.  Baylee went swimming for the first time.
Enjoy the pictures!

Baylee did really well when getting her hair cut.  She didn't want to sit still but she never cried!

We celebrated Mother's Day by visiting the Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth.  It was really fun.
