One of the benefits of a holiday season birthday is that Marcus and I were able to spend the entire day with Abby! Her school is closed all week, so we are off and enjoying time together! Today's focus was all Abby and we spent the day doing her favorite things!
This morning we watched her Praise Baby DVDs in our birthday cake jammies. Abby can still watch these videos over and over! Her face lights up when the blue DVD logo comes on the screen. She will normally make eye contact with you and give a big grin. It is her way of saying Thank You!
After breakfast and a short morning nap, we got dressed to go have some fun! While I got ready, Abby enjoyed a blow dry session. She loves a breeze in her face- blowing your breath on her, the wind, nasal aspirator, you name it!
Can you see the red in her hair? Weird, huh? It will be blond in the rest of the photos from the day.
I don't know that shoes are one of her favorite things, but she is my daughter, so let's assume so! I found these bright glittery shoes for $5 at HEB Plus. They are a fun imitation of this pair that I adore!
Based upon some recommendations from friends, we went to Extreme Fun at Anderson Mill this morning. The place is full of blowups and they have a toddler area. Marcus and I were so scared of "big" kids hurting Abby. She was afraid of nothing! Look at this kid going head first over and over down the toddler slide!
She had so much fun on the slide, crawling on the blow ups, bouncing, and watching the other kids. We have noticed that went Abby gets fussy, we can usually just leave the house and walk a store and she'll perk up. She likes to look at people!
We left the bouncy house and headed to lunch. We ate Mexican food to ensure Abby had her very favorite food for her birthday- avocado! She ate a full half of a sliced avocado, cheese quesadilla, rice, and refried beans. Don't worry, she had vegetables with dinner :)
Happy One Year Old on our way home after our fun day!
She'll also stick her tongue out for you if you do it first. She finds tongues to be hilarious!
After her afternoon nap, we did one more fun thing- jumping on the bed with Daddy! Marcus will hold her vertically over his head and then "drop" her onto the bed so that she bounces. She will land and immediately roll over, sit up and get in position to go again.
We had such a fun day with our sweet girl and are looking forward to celebrating her birthday on Sunday with some of our friends and family. Our first guest list was well over 100 people. Yikes! We paired it down and will still have a full house. We are excited to celebrate our baby girl and our friends and family who helped us get to this day.

Happy Birthday!! What a fun way to spend your first birthday!! It seems like yesterday we were just visiting you in the hospital after she arrived...how quickly time goes by, especially once you have kids. I am glad you guys had a good day!
What a fun day!! Cora's going to have to try the bouncy house place. Looks like too much fun!
btw, thanks for the note about Extreme Fun. We went last week before the big move, to get out of the house and have some fun that didn't involve boxes and paper. :) She loved it and went down everything I could carry her up. Which was everything but one slide. My child has no fear, she did a front flip into the foam pit. Took 10 years off of my life, but she looked up ready to do it again. :)
