Happy Birthday Bailey!


Bailey's birthday was a lot of fun.  We got up and did presents early, Shad loved it.  We went to the gym in the middle of the day and I reminded myself no matter how bad spin class got it would be infinitely better than how I spent the same hour the previous year.  As we were cooling down I looked at the clock and realized it was the exact same time as when my water broke on the way to get Dan.  Incredible a year has already passed. That night we let Shad pick dinner and he did a great job picking one of Bailey's favorites.  Afterwards we did cake which everyone loved.  Bailey is such a little angel, and so sweet and happy.  I love that she still gives me snuggles although she is into everything too.  yesterday she was caught standing on the open dishwasher door holding onto the top rack and climbing onto the toilet.  We are going to have our hands full with this one!
Shad is really sweet about being excited for Bailey, he couldn't wait to help open gifts.  I was surprised that he stayed enthusiastic even after realizing they were all for her.  

A set of wheels, exactly what this girl needed!  She can't get around fast enough.  Shad keeps her  going all day long.  

Shad was thrilled to push Bailey around.  It turned out to be the perfect gift, they love playing together with it! 
At our house it wouldn't be a birthday without decorations.  Shad loves it!  This tradition just started with his past birthday.

When I asked Shad for suggestions for Bailey's birthday dinner he suggested German pancakes.  Perfect!! Bailey LOVES them and it doesn't get any easier than that!

This may have been Bailey's first experience with cake at our house.  She was in bed for Shad's.

Shad couldn't wait to blow out the candle.  I couldn't believe I found pink glitter icing at Safeway, amazing!!

We really need to figure out how to use our timer for pictures of the four of us all. . .  although Dan is probably avoiding it intentionally.

"You say it is called chocolate? I'm in love!"
Best day  ever!
