Happy Birthday Taycee!!

Our little tiny baby girl is not so little tiny. It is hard to believe that a year ago I was hold a 5 week early 5lb 11 oz newborn baby. Now she is a chunky active 1 year old. It makes me sad. :( We had a party for Taycee on the 21st. We cleared out the front of our house and set up chairs. Luckily we had enough room to fit all of the family and friends that came. Taycee sure is one loved little girl. She was spoiled with many new clothes and toys. Things took a slight turn for the worse after Taycee ate WAY TOO MUCH of her cute little birthday cake and threw up in her high chair. She had had a slight fever that morning so after the cake we gave her some Tylenol and put her to bed. She slept for about 2 hours, when I went to get her after she woke up I held her for about 30 seconds before she emptied the rest of the contents of her tummy all over me and herself. Poor girl. She wasn't getting any better and a few hours later we called the dr. who instructed us to try and keep her medicated with Tylenol and Motrin to control the sickness and if it got worse to bring her in.
Chris's dad was here so they decided to give her a blessings. Within minutes after the blessings she was up jumping around laughing and happy as can be and she hasn't had a trace of sickness since. It was amazing to watch, one minute she was lethargic and visibly very sick and 5 minutes later she was the happiest most energetic baby ever. I am so grateful to have worthy priesthood holders in my home to be able to give blessings.
Luckily today is her real birthday so she was happy and healthy today.

Tha party was a lady bug theme. My friend Crystal made these darling cakes! Check out her blog here.

Taycee was a "birthday bug" she looked pretty cute.

So cute from behind!

Happy Britdhay Princess,

Mommy and Daddy love you so much. We are so proud of you. You are such a smart little girl. You learn things so quickly and are so curious about everything around you. My favorite part of the day is going to get you out of your crib when you wake up, you are always so happy to see me. You stand up on the side of your crib and jump up and down and squeal. You hugs and kisses are the greatest. When you get in your cuddly moods I could sit and hold you forever. You blow kisses now to everyone and strangers stop and coo over you all the time. You can say "ah oh" "bye" "hi" "mama" "dada" and "patty cake". You love music and shake your head and wiggle your body every time you hear something with a beat. You love your little brother and watch everything he does and try to copy him. You got a little stroller and two dollies for your birthday and you love them. Yesterday you picked up a dolly and tried to rock it the way we rock you. You are almost walking now but are really unsteady and usually fall on your bum. You are such a special part of mommy and daddys life. You make us smile and laugh everyday. You will always have a special place in our hearts as our first little princess.

We love you baby girl!

-Mom and Dad
