Happy 1st Birthday!

Maggie turned one on the 26th so we celebrated her birthday with a big soiree on Saturday. I can't believe my baby girl is already a year old. It has been a year full of love and joy on a level I never knew could exist! I look forward to many, many more with our sweet MagB! Maggie, we love you so much and you will always be our sweet baby girl - no matter how big you get!


In other news, Mags had her year-old check up on Friday and weighed in a 21.6 lbs. She was 31.3 inches long, which still puts her off the charts for height. Looks like she may have inherited her daddy's height - but my squatty legs! Speaking of squatty legs - our Mags is walking! She pretty much walks everywhere now. And along with the walking she has also learned the fine art of fit-throwing. She can throw herself down (though she does this part very carefully as to not hurt herself) and fitthrow with the best of them. Seriously? Where do they learn this stuff. I will have to get it on video so you too can experience the MagB fit. The Doc told us on Friday to be on the look out for tantrums and to just ignore this type of behavior, which we do, though it is quite entertaining!



Here are some photos from the birthday party:

Cake time!



Mags actually never tasted the cake. After this photo where she is sticking the wick in her mouth was taken I may or may not have overreated and, in a panic that she was going to burn her mouth, I may have grabbed the candle from her - which she did not appreciate and she let me - and her friends and family - know about it. Needless to say, she wanted nothing to do with the cake after that and there was no consoling her. I apparently ruined her first birthday cake expereince!

Time for presents! Luckily we had lots of helpers.
