First Birthday

On Sunday, November 4th, 

I woke up and was rolling around playing in my bed 

Just like every day

when all the sudden mama came in with a camera.  

WEIRD.

Then she took pictures and then started singing "Happy Birthday to You!"

I wondered what in the world was going on....

Then we had something different for breakfast.  Mama made sweet rolls!  

Sweets for breakfast?  Really?

They were so good.  I wanted more!  

This birthday thing is pretty cool.  I could totally get use to this!

It was Sunday so we got ready to go to church!  

Grandma Walker sent me this little white dress. 

I was going to wear it, but mama said it was too short.  

So, she changed me into this.  

By the way, at my 12 month check up, I was

25 pounds, 7 ounces and 31 inches long

Go ME!

After church we came home and I napped.  

Then when I got up I had presents from the parents!  

(mama isn't much on wrapping, but she promises to do better next time)

Me checking out the price tag...

 Can you believe mama found these pants at such a good price?!

(I suppose you've noticed the pants rolled up in the previous picture.  

The pants are 2T - they fit too big right now,

but mama said we will be able to wear them longer, 

and while they are too long and I have to roll them, 

I can feel what it is like to be a Stirland!)

The parents also got me this sweat suit.   

And a puzzle!

I love water animals!

Oh, and by the way 

Both Grandma Walker and Grandma Stirland sent me birthday cards.  

Thanks Grandma Walker and Grandma Stirland!

And our neighbor, Miss Debbie, got me a present too!  

(Miss Debbie belongs to the awesome doggie Yoggie!

You'll see a picture of him later...)

It was so fun!  Can't wait until I have another birthday!!
