A Fun Birthday Party!

Shyler is almost 1! On Sunday we had family over and celebrated this exciting time. We can't even believe how fast this past year has flown by, and now our little princess is now a walking talking independent toddler! Here are 12 fun facts about Shyler for every month she has been alive.

1. Shyler loves cheese! Mac and cheese, quesadillas, and grilled cheese are some of her favorites
2. She loves to hug her friends
3. She loves the phone and even calls people
4. She loves holding and carrying around stuffed animals and her baby doll
5. She loves to sleep with a blanket, a washcloth, and now a stuffed animal
6. The swing and slide at the park seem to scare her
7. She loves bath time and runs into the bathroom when she hears the water running
8. She is good at bringing you things when you ask her nicely
9. She loves to point and say, "What's that?"
10. She is afraid of the vacuum when it's running, but loves to help sweep the floor
11. She is so strong and can knock you over
12. She loves dirt and grass and wishes her mommy would let her eat it and play in it more often

Her butterfly cake I made for her

Nobody got a good picture of her eating her cupcake because she didn't eat it!!!! She put her hand down on the frosting and it freaked her out and didn't want anything to do with the cupcake. We'll try it again on Tuesday...

Shyler and her cousin playing with her new car. She likes to play with it, but not sit on it, pretty funny to see her reaction when you try to put her on it.


Her new phone, she was quick to start talking on it

Playing with her new puzzles

She had a fun time at her party, minus the cake part. We are so happy our family was able to be there with her to celebrate and we can't wait to celebrate many more with her. One other thing that we are so excited about it is her time capsule. We are having her family write her a letter or put things together to go in a time capsule for her to open on her 18th birthday! It was neat to see some of the stuff people thought of to put in there. I hope everyone will be able to be around to see her open it, but I am so happy that she will have something special just for her from the people that love her!

Happy birthday!
I LOVE that idea of the time capsule... bravo to mom and dad for being organized enough to hang onto and remember to bring it out in 18 years!
