Chamae's birthday, etc


Chamae's 1st Birthday cake.  Don't look too closely, I did it really quickly so it's pretty sloppy.
 Chamae in her jumper Granny made for her.
 Opening her little racetrack toy from Granny, Papa, and the Hiatt's.  She loved Corbin's so much, they decided she needed one too.
 Looking and her gifts from David and Joyce while opening her gift from us.
 I was a little lame and kept her birthday celebration pretty low key.  It's just not in me to go all out on a 1 year old, sorry.  If we were closer to more family, it would have been bigger of course.  I did make her a pretty cake though...I should get some points for that.
 Brad thought it was so funny that I would change my daughter's diaper while wearing gloves.  In my defense, I have really dry hands, especially in the winter so they are all cracked and sore and washing my hands 50 times a day doesn't help. 
 Almost back to our regular routine.  Brad went back to work on the 3rd, but Donovan didn't go back until the 4th so we had one more day of laziness.
 When he finally got dressed that day, this is what he came up with.
 She's adorable.

 I can't believe how nice it has been this winter!  We have spent so much time playing outside and the kids love it.
 I just hate that Chamae thinks she needs to climb the stairs whenever we go out.


 Checking to see if his heart beat got faster.  He's so funny.  He has a science book that he makes us read every night and his favorite parts are about his bones and his blood/heart.  He loves to tell me about how his body is working.


I'm not sure how good these videos turned out, but here you go.

I thought I already posted a comment but guess I forgot to push the right button. I think her cake is super cute! Her jumper seems to fit nicely. I loved all the pictures of the kids and family doing random things. I especially enjoyed the video and watching Chamae dance to the music on her push toy. I think the first birthday was great! Thanks for sharing it via blog!

Finally, videos are back. Woohoo!! Too cute, and getting way big. She'll be walking before you know it, then watch out. It's been a mild winter here, as well. The problem with that is, it seems we end up with a crummy spring. But enjoy while you can...
