What Meghan is doing: Standing(first time:Sunday, Nov 13th),Today, standing all day long

crawling, laughing, smiling, teething, cooing, eating(eating and eating), drinking from a sippy cup, trying organic whole milk and spitting it back out(like mommy's milk better), playing peek a boo, singing and dancing to music, blabbing on the phone(knowing the difference between the real phone and toy phones), loves her puffs and cheerios

 Mommy made Meg's cupcake cake and Daddy made it even yummier with his fantastic special icing making. He made tons of icing and then took it up a notch by decorating the entire cake from coloring the icing to the finishing sprinkles. The kids did help put on a few sprinks but Daddy made it look perfect for our Meggies big Day!

 "The Masterpiece Cupcake"

 We tried all we could to make Meghan's day as special as possible but she was fighting a terrible cold that made her look very tired and she had dry patches all over her face. She was of course still as happy as can be for a special birthday girl.

 That's right Meghan, get a piece of that yummy cake. She did taste the icing and thought it was delicious!

 Samara took over the show, but Meg was back there hiding behind her. It was all smiles during the "happy birthday song".

 My friend made the favors for the party and they turned out phenomenal. She made all natural cake pops and she made all the dips for the party too. If you ever need any baked goods or appetizers I highly recommend "anca bakes".

 A little tug of war between sisters is always a good time. Mara was practically tearing Meg's face off so she didn't eat her shoes. Meghan has a fetish with shoes, any size, color, or shape! She is a woman after my own heart. She just LOVES, LOVES, LOVES Shoes!

 and balloons too for that matter!

 and of course...her mommy!

 Meghan opening her presents and reading her cards, surprisingly my first child that actually cares about reading cards first before diving into the presents. She got so many cute gifts and she is having a ball playing with all her new toys and wearing all of her cute clothes.

All about our day and the fabulous celebration!

Party started at 3pm, Mommy and Daddy cooked all the food, we had sausage and peppers, tortellini in vodka sauce, roast beef sandwiches, chicken nuggets, sweet potato fries, salads and a ton of appetizers including spinach and artichoke dip, hummus and pita, a huge pretzel tray and a veggie tray. We ate our lunch and mingled before the magician arrived at 4pm and then all the kiddos gathered around the living room for a very entertaining magic show and singing and dancing, meg was given her first animal balloon and then we headed outside for a cupcake pinata(aka extreme chaos), after the candy rush we went back inside for the ultimate happy birthday and cake. The kids enjoyed getting balloon animals and their faces painted. By 6pm we were all exhausted and it was time to start cleaning up and opening presents! 

 Meghan loves to chase the balls that roll away from her. She is in her squatting mode here, but has mastered the squat and is now standing on her own!

We love you so much Meghan Reese and are so glad you had such a fun and exciting first birthday. Many thanks to all who shared in her special day and for all the wonderful presents to brighten her day.
