Valerie's First Birthday

On Valerie's actual birthday, it was just us for most of the day because it was Chad's late night to work. I tried to make the day extra special for her, which began with breakfast! Chad's mom came over and brought a cupcake for her to enjoy as well!

Her breakfast (of choice) was funfetti pancakes with whipped cream ;-).

It was a beautiful day so we spent some time outside with Scarlet tossing tennis balls, and picking things out of the grass.

Then Valerie decided to share her graham cracker with Scarlet. How nice.

An episode of Bubble Guppies was in order!

If she could speak, she would TOTALLY choose Nini's spaghetti and avocado for dinner! Some of her favorites!

Of course, we had to sing to her once again when Daddy was there!

Then we went to watch Daddy play soccer and had some serious walking practice!

After Valerie went to bed we celebrated surviving our first year of parenthood! I'd say we're doing OK!
