Belle is 1!

I can't believe that my baby is now a 1 year old. We went to the doctors yesterday and she got 4 shots (really sad) but we also found out she has grown a lot, YAY! She is now 21 pounds (20 lbs, 15.5 oz to be exact - the scale kept flipping between the two so I say 21 pounds). She is almost 29 incles tall (28 3/4 inches). That puts her in the 40th percentile for both height and weight, which is great since she has pretty much been in the 10th percentile since birth. For Belle's birthday we had a Minnie Mouse party. We had mostly family and a friend or two there.


We had some cute cupcakes that were red frosting with white polka dots, a white fondant bow, and black fondant ears.

Dont mind my closed eyes (Jarod and Belle look great). I think its funny how it looks like Jarod has mouse ears from the "E" that is behind his head.

She got some cute little baby crocs from Aunt Carol. She also got a little ride on car (from Grandma and Grandpa Yeates), a toy that pops balls into the air (from Uncle Bart, Aunt Kellie, and the boys), and a singing mailbox (from Jake, Marlys, and the twins). She got some more books, a puzzle, Candyland, and a Mickey Mouse movie from Jarod and I. She loved all of her presents and we are so glad the party was fun for everyone!

Belle loved that we gave her a whole cupcake to eat by herself.
