Trisha's 1st Birthday!

Wow I can't believe by baby is 1! Has a year really gone by? She has grown so much and yet she is still a baby to me. Maybe because her hair isn't very long and she still has twinkle toes when she stands. She is such a joy in our life! Here is just a quick glance through her first year:

There are a million other pictures I wanted to put on here. What a little dolly she is! She is still hanging on to just two bottom teeth and only wants to walk with help. Maybe she will surprise us and learn to walk and grow her other teeth all in one swoop. :)

For her birthday we had the Walker family over and had a pizza party. Yummy! She was spoiled with clothes! She looks so good! She got a baby doll from her sister Kendra cause she always plays hers and so we thought that would be a great gift from sister. She loves it! It's amazing to me the motherly instinct in such young souls. When we had cake she got her very own star cake. She, like most 1 year olds, didn't understand at first but once she tasted the frosting she took a few bites and then dumped the whole plate and licked the frosting off. Silly Trisha! It was a fun party. We had a little party for the Hale side during Sunday dinner and she got some great clothes, dresses, and bath toys. She shares her birthday month with Grandma Hale and auntie Laura and cousin Ethan so we had one big party. On the morning of her real birthday we woke her up (well she was awake) with singing Happy Birthday. She just stared at us like we were nuts but it was fun. Daddy made her chocolate pancakes for breakfast with a candle in it and later we went to the park. It was fun and I'm sure she will remember everything :)
