Siri's first birthday!

Jay will be the first to tell you that I get overly excited, about everything. I have been so excited for Siri's birthday for months and I've been planning for at least a month. Jay had school and work today but we tried to set aside some time in between to make this day special. We are having a little birthday party with our families on Saturday but still wanted to make today feel like it was her birthday. We got a cute cupcake at the store and decided to let her go nuts.

I got Siri a cute little birthday outfit, and she looked so grown up. I was kind of wishing they had the same cardigan for me.

Daddy had to help Siri blow the candle out.

Siri really wasn't sure about the cupcake and absolutely refused to get her hands in it. The icing on her face on the pictures was actually put there by Jay, not Siri, and the she waited to be fed, she wouldn't do it herself. All in all, it was a really fun day. We're so lucky to have this little girl! She has changed our lives and we love her to pieces!

Stand back, I'm a professional.

Okay, I realize that this may be picture overload. But, seeing as how I had over 300 pictures to choose from I feel like I showed great restraint. We bought this awesome camera over a year ago and have yet to really figure out how to use it. Teresa and Kris are photography masters and were nice enough to help me out. We were going to get them professionally done but they wanted to charge $300. No thanks to that! So, enjoy. This is the first post of birthday pictures and none of these are photo-shopped. I will probably post again with some tweaked photos. Then again, I've been telling myself I need to blog for months. I guess what I'm saying is... don't hold your breath.

You definitely don't have to look at all the photos, but you should still probably leave a comment about how cute she is. I'm one of those moms. I am secretly hoping that every person I talk to will ask to see photos so I can show her off. Here's hoping!

Merry Christmas

Our Christmas was pretty great this year! We were able to see both of our parents and had a ton of fun spending the holidays with family.

This is Siri and Grandpa T. on Christmas Day. I love watching my Dad hold her. He is completely invested in her while he's with her and she totally responds. She'll sit and coo at him forever.

Siri with her present from Jay. She loves this thing! Such a good purchase on his part!

This was in Colorado on Christmas Eve. Jay's parents got Siri this awesome horse that makes sound and moves it's tail. She really enjoyed it.

Jay in front of the huge mound of presents from his parents. We got an awesome Kitchenaid that we have already used a ton.

Photo Shoot

While we were in the hospital they had a photographer come around and take pictures. They were super cute...and super expensive. Since I just paid a ton for a great camera I decided I could do the same thing. Although they didn't turn out as well as hers, I am still getting the hang of this camera thing, they turned out pretty well

Siri's firsts

Siri was blessed by my Dad on October 28th. Her blessing dress was made from my Mom's wedding dress and made by my sweet aunt, Mary. It turned out so great!

We went to Colorado for Thanksgiving. It was the first time since the hospital Jay's parents got to see Siri.

First Halloween.

First bath.
