Can You Believe It's Been One Year?

That's right...on April 29th Jayden turned 1! Boy did we celebrate! First, on her actual birthday grandma and grandpa came over for a visit. Watching her open presents was quite comical, as always. She loved playing with the paper better than the gifts! Grandma took Jayden out for a walk in the stroller. She was so pooped by the time they came back that grandma said she was "practically falling asleep sitting up"! Sleep is just what Jayden did...she napped for almost 2 1/2 hours! Once Jayden woke up, we all went to dinner to also celebrate daddy's birthday (which was May 2nd).

Sunday, the 30th, we celebrated with a big party for Jayden. Since so many people were coming, we decided to rent the hall at the American Legion and had it catered. A "Ladybug" themed party is what Jayden had! She even had tiny ladybugs on her dress. Jayden truly enjoyed herself...she stayed awake for the entire party!!

Our precious little girl is growing up to quickly. Where did the year go! It's been a wild year so far! So many wonderful things have happened this year that it makes us excited to see what the following years have in store for Jayden! We've made sure that we documented her progress so that in years to come Jayden can read for herself what a proud, intelligent, adventurous, independent, full of spirit little girl she was!!
