Caylee is 1!

I can't believe it has already been a year since that stressful night followed by a joyous morning. What a fun year we have had raising our Caylee thru the baby months. She is such a sweet baby, just like Courtney was. She has the best smiles and loves waving at people. She gets a lot of attention when we are out in public. I think it's her big blue eyes and her smile that attracts them. I think we are in trouble when she is 12. Caylee started crawling about 3 weeks ago and is all over the place. She is no longer my easy baby. She is into everything, exploring, pulling stuff out, opening drawers and I caught her sticking her little fingers in the electrical outlet. Ugh!! I can no longer just leave her down. This is the part I was dreading. I was enjoying it too much letting her just sit in a blanket with a few toys and being content. She is also becoming more opionioned about what she eats, she was eating everything and now Ll of a sudden she is saying "No" to almost everything.

Daddy's dad "Gak Gak" came to visit Uncle Chris for a few days and so we threw a last minute birthday celebration together and I made dinner and Courtney and I made cupcakes. We invited Uncle Chris, Auntie Beth, Gak Gak and the Mier Family over for some celebrating. Daddy worked late but he got here just in time for her birthday cupcake. She loved it and ate on it for about 45 min. She had cake and frosting everywhere. It was fun to watch her enjoy it. We are doing a joint birthday party with her and Courtney in a few week so, that's when the real party will be.

On Saturday, the day of her birthday, we took her to dinner at Outback and then out for ice cream. This girl loves her sweets! All in all she had a good birthday.

But I'm a little worried about the next few months. I remember all too well how it was with Courtney and I think I'm in for some major baby proofing and some discipline.

Cowboys Game

Daddy is teaching his girls young to not only like watching sports but to like the Cowboys. So last night we had some friend's over for the game, we all wore our jerseys and I made everyone dinner. The girls both look so cute in their pink "Romo" jerseys.The girls both had a blast entertaining everyone between plays and Courtney ended the night by dancing on our coffee table to daddy's music. Caylee knocked our wine rack over and got a big goose egg on her head. That girl is everywhere with her crawling. I can't keep up with her.
