Scarlett's 1st Birthday

It’s hard to believe that I was in the hospital a year ago today waiting on Scarlett to make her appearance. After waiting ALL DAY, she finally showed up at 11:45pm. This year has just flown by!!!! I can’t believe my baby is 1!

Her actual birthday is today, but we had her birthday party on Saturday. We decided to have it at a local park that has a nice pavilion, picnic tables, a grill, and lots of fun jungle gym equipment. My main concern in having it at this park was not being able to get the pavilion since you could not reserve it. Of course, we didn’t get it. Someone must have gotten up super early to put their table cloths out and taped off that area. I was so disappointed! BUT, we got a nice table that was closer to the play area, and it all worked out.

Someone really enjoyed their Nemo cupcake. It got really messy, and thankfully I remembered her bib after the first couple of bites!

I really wish that I had gotten a picture of everyone that was there, but I was too busy visiting. And…. Those PEOPLE that taped off the pavilion hadn’t even shown up for their party when we left the park at 2:00pm!!!

Today was my day to go to the office, and I did. I really didn’t want to as I wanted to spend the whole day here with Scarlett. I called home around lunch, and Joe asked if I wanted to go with them to McDonald’s so that Scarlett could play on their playground. I decided this was way better than the office, so off I went to join them!

Scarlett had never been to McDonald’s before. I actually haven’t eaten anything there besides their breakfast and an occasional milkshake in a few years. But, it was Scarlett’s day, so Joe and I splurged (calorie wise… not cash!) on Quarter Pounders, fries, and a 4-pack of chicken nuggets. We cut up one of the nuggets and a few fries for her, but she wasn’t interested at all. Her attention was on all the kids and the playground. She and Joe had fun playing while I watched. I mean seriously, do you all think I can really crawl around in a play ground at this point???

Scarlett isn't interested in her nuggets AT ALL. She just keeps watching all the other kids.

I thought this picture was funny!! Peanut had to check out Scarlett's new play hut that Aunt Sonet sent her.

Now we're all just looking forward to the arrival of Scarlett's little brother. ONE MONTH TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
