October 8th Mckayla turned one! On saturday we had a birthday party with friends and family. We served sweet pulled pork burritos with costa vida ranch sauce (I made this home made), fruit, veggies, and a peach/fresca punch. Mckayla's favorite part of her lunch was the grapes and strawberries. Mckayla also got to see her second cousin Ivy who is a month older than her (See the picture above of the two girls and the toy car). One of Mckayla's favorite toys was a Fisher Price cookie shape jar. Right before we were going to sing to Mckayla, she already dipped into her cake! She loved squishing it in her fingers. I don't know how much even made it to her mouth.
Justin and I can't believe our little girl is already one! Recapturing the moments that classify Mckayla: her smile that makes her eyes squinty, her sad cry when she falls down, her sweetness when she cuddles a stuffed animal, when she coos to see balloons, or lights, when she claps whenever you say "Yeah", when her eyes get all bright when she sees the baby einstein caterpillar on the DVD, when she runs away stark naked when you are trying to change her diaper, when you come into the kitchen and see her sitting in the drawer tearing up all the coupons and ads, when she keeps throwing her sippy cup on the floor so she can say "uh-oh", when you put her in her car seat and she turns around and stand up, and best of all when Daddy and Mommy go into the nursery to see Mckayla fast asleep! Thanks for the best year ever Mckayla!
