Adella's 1st Birthday!!

I can't believe that my little lady is 1 year old! Time really does go by quickly. I am amazed when I think that Adella was once the little squishy baby that we brought home just a short year ago. I am thankful that I have been trusted to care for such a sweet little girl. She has made my life so happy.
We kept the b-day celebration pretty simple this year considering that she won't remember it. We had birthday cake ...






and opened presents...
I wasn't sure she would really understand the idea of tearing open the paper but she got the hang of it.

As all mothers know, it is difficult to catch a shower when you have small children.  I find myself always having to think up new ways to entertain Adella while making sure that she is safe.  Sticking her in the crib or pack and play do not work for her.  So today I decided to put her in her "bouncer-ciser" out side of the bathroom door (bathroom too small for her to be inside) with a heafty dose of cheerios to keep her happy so that I could what should be every person's daily right... take a shower.

As I stepped out of the shower I saw this...  

I don't know how long Mason had been there but one thing is for sure... he too had had a healthy snack while I was taking my shower.
