Birthday Party for Chelsea Kaye

Our little Lady Picker turned 1. We had a valentines party for her with family and one of her girlfriends, Jaylen. I love Chelsea more with every day, and enjoy getting to know her sweet, stubborn, and smart personality.

Yeah, I am a bit of a health nut when it comes to my child. She doesn't eat sugar yet, so we forfeited bithday cake for biscuits with strawberries. (I had whipped cream and chocolate syrup for everyone else, but not for the birthday girl. Next year I am sure we will have cupcakes but now she doesn't know any better so I stuck to my health regime! )

Perfectly happy with her birthday desert!

Food or fingerpaint?

Yipee! My favorite breakfast- blueberries!

Let me rub the juice all in your hair....

If I tuck this one behind my ear I can snack on it later...

Oh no, I think my secret stash has been discovered.

The baby, the monkey and me

Here we are after Chelsea has woken up from her afternoon nap. She LOVES this soft monkey that Joanne North gave her. She snuggles with it in her bed while she sleeps and won't let go of him for a while after she wakes up. And she LOVES her baby from Nana. Chelsea will craddle her in her arms, pat her back, lean her against her shoulder, and then pass the baby to me so I can give her cuddles as well! This is our after nap ritual, lots of cuddling with the baby, the monkey and me. Sweet, sweet days.

ps. Yes, Chelsea does appear to have a comb over. Thats bed hair for you!
