My baby girl....not a baby anymore. Acutally, since she is still under 16 lbs I think I will still call her my baby. So Brielle's birthday was just over a week ago and it turned out great. I think we learned from Emma's 1st birthday that you can over-celebrate. So, we went swimming at the Aquatic center (the best activity for January). Brielle was pretty nervous at first, but once we sat her on the stairs she started splashing. After wearing them out we came home and while the girls napped we cleaned up, wrapped presents, and decorated her cake. We went to get her picture taken, grabbed dinner and then came home just in time for the guests to arrive. Brielle actually did pretty good at unwrapping presents. She usually had a cousin (or sibling) help her get the present started and then once it was unwrapped another cousin (or sibling) would take it from her so they could play. I guess that is just the life of the youngest grandchild. She had two pieces of her birthday cake (we had trained her on cake since about 9 mo old!) and a big scoop of ice cream (don't ask me why she is still less than 16 lbs). Her favorite present was probably a ball popper or a pink rocking chair. It was a fun mid-January celebration with no birthday meltdowns.....imagine that.
