Jordyn's 1st Birthday

My little baby girl turned one. I can't believe a year has gone by already. She just cracks me up.

We went to the store and got the free birthday cake that they make for a baby's first birthday. We ordered a chocolate cake with a pink bear and the number 1 put on it. I got to the store and got my cake. On our way home, we opened it up to find a blue cake with the name of Matthew on it. We were worried that Matthew would be disappointed if he didn't get his came so we returned it. However, the other cake they had waiting there was not a girl's cake. The cake maker must have gotten mixed up and she decorated our cake as a boy cake but put the number 1 on it. Well...it was free, so we just took it home. Oh well, Jordyn didn't seem to mind the color.

Jordyn was tentative at first, just sticking in her finger and scooping a small lick out of frosting.

She took one lick and got very excited.

Then she started grabbing handfuls.

And more handfuls.

Me with my baby girl.

The blue frosting was great. It showed up nicely for the messy pictures.

Then we opened presents.

Jordyn would open a present and then start waving back and forth really fast and scream a happy scream.

It happened every time she opened a present.

She would also clap enthusiastically.

And then wave some more.

Jordyn had a great birthday party with all her Heath cousins.
