Give baby her bottle...

Sophia's First Birthday

Wednesday was Sophia's first birthday. I tried to prepare myself all week for this day. I really thought I'd cry all day, but I didn't shed one tear. :) We were soo busy I didn't really have time to think about how my baby girl turned one.

First, we woke up and realized Soph's eye that had been watering for acouple days (I thought it was allergies) still hadn't gotten better. Since Elliott and I took the day off to spend with Soph, we decided we'd take her into her pediatrician just to make sure it wasn't anything besides allergies. We got there and her doctor said she had an eye infection. :( Nothing like being contagious on your birthday. We had to cancel our dinner plans with the Beaty's but we still had a great day with our baby girl.

Once we got home, we gave Soph her presents.

 Her favorites were her baby:

 And her horse that came inside of a purse:

 Then, we took her to the splash pad in Dublin. Her pediatrician said she'd be fine to go since she wasn't swimming and touching anything where other kids could get it. As soon as we got there, this little boy wanted her hat lol:

 She was unsure at first, but then loved it:

 And wanted to drink the water. Instead of a splash pad, she thought it was a drinking fountain:

They have these huge bunnies on top of the hill. Soph wanted to run up the hill but didn't realize its harder to walk up a hill than a flat surface. Once we got up top, I asked El to take our picture and he totally cut off one of the huge bunnies lol:

We had alot of fun at the splash pad and will def go back. It wasn't nearly as big as Scioto Mile, however, it was MUCH cleaner!

After dinner, we gave Soph a cupcake with 1 candle in it. She was soo interested in the flame:

 She tried to grab it several times while we were singing "happy birthday" and despite us trying to stop her every time, she reached it before we got her. She didn't cry, but she did have a little mark. We felt terrible.

 She wasn't a HUGE fan of the cupcake or the icing. Whose child is she?  Haha!

 And then she was done and over it. Haha!

I can't believe my baby is one!! This has been the best year ever and I'm sure it'll just get even better. :)

Birthday Week

Sophia's birthday week started last Sunday. I kicked it off by giving her 1/2 an oreo:

Then, on Monday, she received a package for her birthday from The Foote's:

 She loved opening presents:

 Then on Tuesday, she received another package, this one from The Hopkinson's:

 She LOVED her chair:

 Hahah playing hide and seek:

 And climbing on it.

Sophia's favorite tutu

Since Sophia was born I've made her several tutu's and she's never liked ANY of them...until this week!! I made her a rainbow tutu for her 1 year photos that were taken acouple weeks ago. Acouple nights ago I got her tutu out to see if I could use it for any of her decorations for her first birthday party this coming weekend. She got excited when she saw it so I put it on her and she loved it. I tried taking it off of her acouple times and she cried every time. Finally, before bed, we had to give her something else to distract her so I could get it off. :) Here's some pictures of her in it:

Monday morning Soph picked up her little basket and filled it with her favorite things: her baby, ducky, letters and her hair brush and she carried it around all morning. She's def getting a purse for her birthday!! :)
