Shayden's First Birthday

Our sweet little Shady Bug turned TWO... April Fools! She actually turned ONE on April Fools Day. She is a happy, adorable, spunky, and moody one year old (among many other things). She crawls everywhere and is into EVERYTHING! She discovered how to flush the toilet on her big day. She thought that was great! She pulls herself up with the help of the furniture or anything available and takes steps as long as she has a hand to hold. She stood for over a minute by herself until she realized that no one was helping her, then she sat down. She explores the house all day long and discovers new things everyday.

Shady yells for "DADA" all day and occasionally says "Mama". She babbles non-stop and makes the funniest faces!

To start her special day off right, we took her for a walk, and then she kicked back and watched a "Baby Einstein" DVD.

Aunt Kimmy and Uncle Brando gave her a box of Tissues to pull out. She LOVED that! She got to make a mess on purpose. Shayden's cousin Makayla, Aunt Bethany, and Uncle Trevor were in town to help us celebrate! We took Shayden to the Playground and she really loved the little slide.

She is usually afraid of the swings, but she really enjoyed swinging on her B-Day.

Then, we came home and she opened her gifts. She got some new toys, a purse, and some new clothes. Girls are so fun to shop for!

We had Pizza for dinner (Shayden's favorite) She ate a whole piece with only her two bottom teeth. She is a pretty good eater.

Then we watched her demolish her Birthday Cake. She Loved it! and made a total mess. We expected nothing less.

Shayden has been such a light in our family. She is constantly making us laugh and keeping life fun. We are so thankful that she is a part of our family! Happy Birthday Shady!
