Look Whoo's One?!

ok ok ok. I know I kinda went over board and made Payton's birthday almost a wedding. : ) It included a two tired cake, dessert table, and craft table! But it was so much fun and we just had to go all out for the sweetest little peanut I have ever had a pleasure to know, and luckily that would be my my amazing one year old.  I cannot wrap my brain around the fact that a entire year has passed. People tell you it goes by fast but you have know idea until the shoe is on the other foot. Payton had so many friends and family to celebrate her on her big day and we felt so much love. Due to the fact that it has been a trying year, with my health concerns, it was nice to celebrate with all the people we love. Payton had her FIRST piece of cake at her birthday and I have to say that at first she was confused but then she was all about it. She got a lot of gifts that she opened on her new comfy chair Aunt NanA , Uncle Jason, and Bel got for her. Payton was SO excited to see people walk in to her party she would just scream for joy when she saw new faces! It was the sweetest thing. I think she go the idea that the day was about her and really loved it up.who wouldn't : )?!

This cake was amazing!

yes she is wearing the happiest first birthday outfit u have ever seen! and she loved sitting in her chair.

we also had favors for everyone to take home. Carmel apples,yum!

this is the owl Gram K handmade for Payton. so cute

waiting for her guests to arrive!

family family everywhere!Uncle Eric, Cuz Jacob, & Uncle Nick even came into town especially for Payton's big day

we ended the day with Payton snoozing in her crib with a a stomach full of birthday goodies while daddy and I let her birthday balloons go to land somewhere special.

Payton is our beautiful baby girl and yet I know I cannot call her a baby anymore because definition says she is now a toddler. She will always be my baby though ; ). Just a few days after her big party we went to her 1 yr check-up. That consisted of some more vaccines and her numbers. She is 25 pounds and 30 inches long! Payton is on a sippy cup all day long and only gets a bottle before bed. Boy she is becoming a big girl. I remember fondly just last year at this time never imagining my beautiful baby girl being able to ever sit up on her own and now she is a toddler. Wild! I do love this age and can't wait for trick-or-treating!
