Happy 1st Birthday!

Yesterday, Sarah turned 1. It's been a wonderful, surprise filled year that I would not trade for anything. She had a blast yesterday. We let her stay home from school and spend the entire day with me. We went shopping at Toys R Us, and bought a mini basketball as well as a Little Tikes Slide and Swing Castle. She has not been on the swing or slide yet as I just finished putting them together, but loves the basketball. I have no doubt she will enjoy the slide and swing as she has enjoyed them in the past at friends houses and the park.

Last night, we had family over for a little birthday celebration complete with dinner, cake and presents. We stripped her down to her diaper and sat her in a high chair in the middle of the kitchen and just let he go to town with the cupcake. She made some of the cutest faces and enjoyed the treat. We also gave her a bit of organic whole milk last night since the doctor told us we can start her on milk now. She did well with it. She wouldn't take it to go down to sleep, but when she was eating her cake, she had some real milk.

Tomorrow, we are having a much larger bash for her birthday with all of ours and her friends invited, as well as the extended families and neighbors. That should prove to be just as entertaining as last night.

I have also taken some time to update the gallery with pictures from months 11, 12, and her Birthday celebration.
