My mom and sister helped out with the decor, I think it turned out great.
Rosalie and Ellie totally enjoyed opening the gifts and playing with them, it was so fun, and they were so cute!
Rosalie enjoyed her pizza and her cake, she was very upset with us when we took the cake from her. She had had so much candy that day we just didn't want her to get a sugar rush. She definitely had an amazing time. It was so great having all of our family there to celebrate with us. Rosalie is such a special girl, we are so blessed to have her in our family.
A few things she is up to lately:
-started taking a few steps by her party, and now she pretty much walks all over
-says several things, you just have to interpret them her favorites are uh-ho, oh no, no, and uh-huh
-she stacks her blocks and then knocks them down
-she plays pretty well independently
-she loves to throw balls, lately she picks one up that is as big as her and carries it around and laughs
-she loves to snuggle and rock any soft thing we hand to her
-she loves dogs, and yells dog whenever she sees one, while we were in Cali she knew Lucy was around and would yell dog really loud until she found Lucy
-she loves books, but not when we try to read them to her, she just likes to look at them on her own
-she tries to feed herself with a spoon or fork and gets annoyed when we try to feed her or cut up her food
-the list could go on, but my hands are getting carpel-tunnel so I will spare you
hope you enjoyed our little monsters birthday pictures
Rosalie's first day going to Seven Peaks, she was so funny looking in her bathrobe before I got her all dressed in her swimming gear before we left. She would not stay still and kept trying to get my camera.
Pouring her snacks into her toys, she is so mischievous lately it makes me laugh.
At Stephen's graduation in TX. We definitely had an interesting flight there and back, but we survived. Isn't she so cute with her Auntie?
The High School graduate and parents.
Proud sister.
The family. Rosalie was so tired, I'm pretty sure she conked out on my shoulder right after this picture was taken.
Sleeping at Grandma's house, such a funny position.
Father's day. She loves her dad, and he is so wonderful to her. I have been so bad about posting lately that I didn't get a tribute out to him or my dad on Father's day, I really wish I had. Both of them are such amazing men and I am grateful for all that they do. I love Sean, we are lucky to have him, and Rosalie is super lucky he is her dad.
Watching her videos. Sometimes it is so nice to just sit her down to watch her movies like this. It was a life saver on our flight to TX, I forgot to charge it on our way back though and it was sorely missed. She loves her Einstein videos now, it is great.
Cute pigtails. Rosalie is getting so big, her hair is getting long, and she is just growing up. She now loves to climb up on the couch and on chairs and she knows to move things to use them as steps, she is just too smart. She says so many new words and it is fun to watch her learn new things. She absolutely loves other kids and is enjoying the pool a lot. She is a little fish, luckily she does not let go of me in the water so that I have some peace of mind. We are just so in love with our little monster.
