A Year Old

Yes, our baby is a year old. Well, she has been a year old for over a week now, but we didn't have this wonderful journal last week. We celebrated her birthday with friends and family and a party with lots of food, balloons, and a fun flower cake. And, of course, she had her very own chocolate cake to eat and destroy. She enjoyed her cake so much that she required a bath and wardrobe change before she tackled her presents. Her awesome gifts included cute outfits, a puzzle, a fun activity piano (which she plays with constantly), a beautiful gold charm from Pappy, books, art supplies (we can't wait to make a mess together!), bath toys, and a huge ball pit from Chris and I. And, as always, Aunt Jen found an awesome gift that I didn't even know existed - a DVD MagIQ interactive friend. It is a DVD that interacts with the cutest and softest cow I have ever seen. It even comes with a travel CD so you can use it in the car during trips. Pretty cool!!! The ball pit was also a hit with Camryn, Connor, and Ella during the party. They had a blast playing in it in the backyard. (Camryn continues to enjoy it during nice days outside and even rainy days in the living room. I am guessing her favorite color is blue since she seems attracted to the dark blue balls!) After the party, Grandma and Grandpa Sheriff spent the weekend with us and Camryn really enjoyed her time with them. They got to see what a wonderful personality she has developed!! All in all, even though I am slightly depressed that my baby is already one, we had a great time for her birthday.

A New Idea

I have been trying to come up with a way to keep family and friends updated about Camryn's constantly changing life. It seems as if she is doing something new and different each and every day. This is our solution, so we will see how it goes. We hope to update often so all of you can read how Camryn is growing, changing, and learning. I will have to continue later, though, because Mountville is starting their fireworks soon and we can see them from our front yard.
