Happy Birthday, Bella!

We had a great time celebrating Bella's first birthday last week! We had our own family party on Wed - I made Bella's fav baked chicken and cupcakes. We found out that Josiah reacts strongly to sugar when after having 2 mini cupcakes with a small amount of icing, he went CRAZY for 2 hours! Seriously, it was nuts! Bella was super sweet and thoroughly enjoyed her cupcake with no icing. :) Here are a few pics of our week/weekend.
First picture as a one year old - what kind of mom takes a picture when you just woke up?

She and Josiah enjoyed the snail we got her.

Someone has a sweet tooth, or maybe some sweet teeth!

We stopped in Cheraw on our way up to Raleigh. We enjoyed a special treat - fried halibut and Josiah had a great time with the party favors!

This girl loves hats, even Daddys'.

Brown family minus a few - somehow I forgot to take one with my parents -

sorry mom and dad!

She loves her new birthday hats!

Bella had her 1 year check up today. My little girl weighed in at a whopping 17 1/2 lbs. and was 28 1/4 in. long. This puts her in the 5th percentile for weight and 10th for height! Doctor is not concerned - she has always measured small and is eating very well and growing steadily!


This is Bella showing off her new dance moves!
