We celebrated Josalea's first bithday with Grandma and Granddad Wilkie
and, boy, did we have fun!
Josalea loves elephants and makes a very
cute impression of one. :)
So I made her an elephant cake and she
loved it!
I had a lot of fun making it too. I think the first year cake
is more for Mom than anyone else. ;)
She was very excited when we put the cake
and the candle in front of her. :)
She loved to hear us sing to her...
...and then she reached...
...and grabbed herself a handful!
She wasn't shy when it came to digging in
and getting messy.
She's quite the little charmer :)
Daddy got the honors of getting her out of
her highchair and into the bathtub.
Notice the similar expression! :)
She loves her bathtime
She got a new bath towel for her birthday,
an elephant of course!
She enjoyed the bow more than opening the gift :)
She's definitely a girl...she likes her shoes already!
They were both pretty excited about this new elephant book!
This is the, 'give me back my book' face.
We all went swimming at the river for her birthday too.
Swimming is one of her favorite things to do!
She is quite a little fish and has no fear.
She was pretty worn out by the time we took this picture,
little sweetie. <3
(And notice the studly man in this picture as well ;) )
Fun times!
Goofy faces! :P
At the end of the day she got to try her first S'more.
It was a big hit! She sat in her highchair for the longest time
and finished every bite!
What a joy is our little Josalea Kate! We are so very blessed by her
and thank God daily for the amazing gift of our sweet, spunky, quick to give a smile, little girl. <3
