Aspyn's 1st Birthday

Aspyn's 1st Birthday was November 12th! We kept it small, but she had a good time! Uncle Terry and Aunt Bonnie came over for cake, ice cream and to open a few presents.

Yes, I made her awesome cake! It was a double layer chocolate cake, with strawberry frosting in the middle. The outside is just plain ol' vanilla! Yeah, yeah I know, not the most creative, but it was super yummy and Jordyn loved to help me decorate it!

Aspyn got right in there when it came time to open her gifts. She loved it!

 I found this ball pit and thought Aspyn would love playing in it. Little did I know that Jordyn would love it too, maybe even more than Aspyn! I did end up having to buy more balls, but it was still a hit empty.

 We all know that Aspyn LOVES to eat...anything.  As soon as I put the cake down on her tray she went to town on it. Yes, she ended up eating the ENTIRE piece of cake. 

The aftermath

 I can't believe that she has been in our family for a year! This last year went so fast. She's such a good little girl! She is so smart. She loves to read books, loves her sister and her dad.  She still loves the outside and the dogs! It really has been great having her in our family.  She's just such a joy. Happy 98% of the time, but she does have a stubborn streak with a HUGE attitude.  She's definitely going to give us a hard time when she hits the Terrible Two's!

At her 1 year checkup she weighed 21 lb 3 oz and was 29.5 inches tall. Dr Moore noticed that her weight had dropped off since her last visit and that she wasn't following her curve like she had been. She's pretty sure that it's just because she was walking and was a lot more active than before.  She does want to see her again in February for a weight check. Other than that, her 1 year appointment was great!

It's going to be a great year watching her learn new things and explore the world around her.  I know that the bond between Jordyn and Aspyn will just continue to grow stronger!

Happy 1st Birthday Beebs, We love You!
