My Birthday!!!

So I am now officially 1!!! My birthday was on Thursday, but I talked Mommy and Daddy into letting me celebrate all weekend. I think I sold them when I told them that I would only turn 1 once.

Thursday the 8th, was my real birthday and the day was great. Mommy was off of work and was able to hang out with me all day. We ran around town running errands, I had a lot of fun with her. When Daddy got off of work we had dinner, and then I got a cupcake. Mommy said I had to wait until Saturday to have a real birthday cake. After I ate my cupcake, I got to open presents. I got this really cool tunnel and a wagon that I can stand and walk with. Mommy and Daddy gave me a lot of DVDs. I got some Baby Einstein DVDs and Elmo DVDs.

Mommy and Daddy both had to work on Friday, so I went to day care. I have a lot of fun at day care--the kids there are super fun and Ms. Brandi takes really good care of me. I only had to be there half the day cause Mommy picked me up and we then went to the airport to get Grandma and Grandpa Taylor. They came into town for my birthday party on Saturday. I always have fun with them when they are in town.

So my big party was Saturday, I was surprised to wake up in the morning to the house completely decorated. There were streamers on the ceiling, a ton of balloons around the house, and Happy Birthday signs hanging up. The house looked ready for a party. A ton of people showed up to wish me a Happy Birthday, and they all brought a lot of gifts with them. I had some much fun at the party.

Mommy and Daddy got me a Finding Nemo cake and I got to eat a piece all by myself. It was awesome!!! I have included a picture below of the cake and the aftermath. I got a whole bunch of gifts, that I can't remember them all. Let see, I got a big truck, stacking blocks, V-Tech helicopter, V-Tech frog, Cookie Monster stuffed animal, stuffed monkey, University of Illinois clothes, and a Brett Favre Vikings Jersey. Everyone was very generous with the gifts--don't forget that Christmas is coming soon. I will post my Christmas list so everyone knows what I want. Thank you to everyone for the presents, I really appreciate it.

There are a lot of pictures from the birthday weekend that I had Daddy upload onto webshots. He started a new file, so you don't have to sort through hundreds of pictures. Here is the link to the new file http://community.webshots.com/album/575062435MKWkzL. Enjoy.

Thanks again to everyone for your birthday wish and your gift. They were all awesome.

Love,

My birthday cupcake. I tried to pinch the candle out, but Mommy taught me how to blow it out instead. Thanks Mommy.

Check out my new set of wheels. I am going to learn how to walk so much faster now.
Look out!

My awesome Finding Nemo birthday cake.

It was so yummy.

I was having so much fun with them, Charlie was checking out the new stuff and Grandpa was watching guard to make sure that Charlie did not walk off with anything.
