On Cynthia's actual birthday, Josh was out of town for work, so me and her celebrated with a muffin and a candle! My family also came over for the afternoon and dinner, it was fun to have them around! Then, the next weekend we had a little birthday part with family and friends from church, it was pretty low key. Cynthia made her way outside, and into the planter. Yes, I'm the mom that let my one year old play in the dirt at her birthday party in her pretty dress. But hey, she was happy and having a good time, and clothes are washable! She got some great toys, but was a bit overwhelmed by all the activity going on!
On another note, she has transitioned amazingly to whole milk and solids, while getting off the bottle! I was so worried about how that would go, and how she would be able to go to bed since she always took a bottle right before bed, but it didn't faze her one bit! I think it was harder on me because I loved that snuggly time at the end of the day. She does love to eat, and does quite a bit of it throughout the day too! She loves to eat so much that anytime one of us goes into the kitchen, she comes in after us thinking that she's going to get fed!
She did have her first two teeth FINALLY come in the week of her birthday. She handled her one year shots like a champ, and is in the 97th %ile for weight and height.
She's definitely turned into a walker now, and also likes to climb on the ottomans in the living room. She's always so pleased with herself when she makes it up!
We have decided that the two words that we would use to describe Cynthia would be SWEET and ADVENTUROUS! She's not afraid of a challenge, picks up new things quickly, but loves to snuggle and cuddle!
I'm so excited about what the next year has in store for us, and we cherish everyday for the blessing that it is!
Josh's grandfather passed away, and this is from the funeral in Crockett. She was so happy to be outside and out of her carseat!

We made a trip to the zoo while we were in Houston. She held onto her ticket for so long!
