Taylie's first birthday fell on a Friday. Jason had a golf tournament all day and the girls and I had an appointment and some errands to run so we didn't get a chance to do anything too special. Since Taylie loves dogs, her sisters picked out a stuffed dog for her. They had fun wrapping it and giving it to her when Jason got home. She loves it :)
I know every birthday I will think back to the day they were born, but when it's only been one year, it's still so fresh. I looked at the clock many times throughout the day thinking back to her tramatic birth day. I am so thankful that one year later, I can hug, kiss, and love my little girl as much as I want to and she is as healthy as can be!
The next day, we headed up north for my cousin Rachel's baby shower. We had a great time and it was fun seeing how cute Rachel is with her little belly. She hasn't found out what they're having, but my guess is a girl!
Right from the shower we went to Dave's workplace, MVP Sports, to use their outdoor pool/waterpark. Thanks to Dave, he got us in for free and we enjoyed a few hours of fun before heading to a quick stop at Captain Sundae, then off to prepare for Taylie's party at my dad's house.
Taylie still isn't a fan of unfamiliar places and people so she was clung to me most of the time and didn't want me out of sight. Somehow Aunt Rachel worked her magic and was able to hold her for awhile before she started crying.
Loves her pillow pet!
She was quite excited about getting some money :)

Jason really likes water balloons so we brought along his slingshot for some fun.
That night we drove home late, packed on Sunday and headed out to Fremont, IN to Yogi Bear to camp for a few days so we got in her other party this past Saturday at our house.
Taylie was much more laid back and comfortable with it being at our house.
The kids played outside, ate, opened gifts, did a craft (pillowcases), ran through the sprinkler, and ate some cake.
Me and my girls :)
There was NO cake smashing going on at her parties this year, maybe we'll try again next year :)
Checking it out a little...

Happy 1st Birthday Taylie Mae!
