December 30th we celebrated Alaina's first Birthday. And I am the worst mom and didn't even make her the traditional cake that she could dive into all on her own. But after Christmas and RJ's Birthday on the 28th, I was caked out and just didn't want to think about it. I am going to have to figure out a better system of birthday celebrating in the future because I can't get away with being a slacker birthday thrower forever.
We had a few family members from the Wright side over and unfortunately we didn't even include the Turek side because Kandice's family had a busy time with Carters blessing and Sealing right around the same time we decided we had seen enough of them. Not really, we just decided to keep it low key and simple for Laine.
Lainee loves her cousin Ellee. Every time she sees her she has to scoot over to her and lean on her and give her a little "hug". It's so cute.
I told everyone they had to hula hoop in order to get any ice cream. So here for you viewing pleasure is one Hot Hula Hooper.
I didn't want him to know I was videoing so I just set the camera on the counter while I was dishing up ice cream so they counter top is in the way a little, but you get the jist.
And then I also wanted to never forget Lainee's little Booty Scoot. She doesn't crawl, she just scoots around on her booty. It is so dang cute and I could sit and watch her all day!
She is beginning to walk and and I can't help but be so sad to have the little "scoot" disappear.
We like to call it "The row" because it reminds me of rowing a boat. It is always right, left, right, left.
None of the other kids ever hit their first birthday without walking. She is the first and might I add that it is awesome!! She is so good and content, without being into everything that toddlers are into. She can scoot around on her bum for the rest of her life for all I care.
