Our baby is 1!!

Calleigh turned one year old today!  What an amazing year it has been.  She is such a little sweetheart.  She loves to give hugs and kisses.  She is a little social butterfly and loves an audience.  She says "hi" to everyone she sees and blows kisses bye bye.  She loves books and is happy to oblige when you ask her to turn the page.  She's not walking yet but is starting to stand up on her own for a few seconds so it probably won't be long.  It seems to us that she crawls at lightning speed.  When she's in a hurry to get somewhere, she puts her head down, scrunches up her nose and takes off, huffing and puffing all the way there.  It's pretty funny to see and hear.  She is VERY curious and is getting into everything.  She has started to hand things over to us when she's gotten ahold of something that she knows she's not supposed to have.  It's almost like she's saying "Here, I got this just for you!"  She's getting teeth in like crazy!  She currently has 7 teeth that have popped through and I can see or feel about 6 or 7 more.  She's a trooper though.  A little Orajel and ibuprofen at bedtime and she's good for the night.

We had a birthday party for her last weekend.  She had a blast.  We got this little roller coaster for her.  I was a bit concerned that she might be a little too young for it (it says ages 2+) but as you can see from the expression on her face, she LOVED it.
 Racing Dechlan to the top of the roller coaster.
 Calleigh was super excited to see a $1 bill in her birthday card from Uncle Chad and Aunt Kourtney.
 Calleigh hates things on her head.  She immediately pulls off her hat when I put it on unless I'm able to distract her with something else long enough for her to forget that it's on her head.  Can you tell from the look on her face that she wasn't thrilled about this bow being on her head?  It lasted about as long as it took to take the picture.
 She started crying when I put her party hat on but as soon as we all started singing "Happy Birthday" to her she totally forgot it was there.
 She had no problem digging right into her cake.
 That cake didn't stand a chance.  She was pounding on it with both hands and smearing the frosting around. 
 Good thing we stripped her down to her diaper for this part of the party.
 Happy Birthday Calleigh!
