1 YEAR!!!

I can't believe it, my little bundle of joy is a YEAR OLD!
It's been the most amazing 12 months of my life, and just the first 12 months of Delilah's!
So much happened this month, where to begin??!

Since Delilah's actual birthday fell on a Wednesday, we had her birthday party the following Saturday and went out for a special dinner on her actual birthday. 
She LOVES the Olive Garden, so that's exactly where we went!
She had lots of bread, salad, fettuccine alfredo... and of course, the yummiest piece of chocolate mousse cake they had!
Here she is absolutely indulging in this chocolatey goodness... 
Very focused!


So, of course, the big event happened this month... 
Delilah's 1st Birthday Party!
We had so much fun, the entire party was absolutely perfect! By far one of my favorite memories ever! 
All of our friends and family joined us in celebration, we had games and food and fun! Delilah had the best birthday ever, which makes me one happy Momma!
Here are a few pictures from Delilah's big day...
My homemade rainbow cupcakes, and Miss Delilah's special birthday cake!

The aftermath of said pinata! Bags full of candy for all!

Walking around the party at the park, look at her little customized onesie! The party theme was "Look Whooo's Turning 1!" It was a hoot!

Present time! We had a LOT of gifts to open, we loved each one! 

Smash Cake! She really dug into this treat!

Miss Thing, crawling around to greet all of her guests!

What a BLAST! We enjoyed every moment and are so thankful for all the LOVE!

Delilah ALSO has a big, loving family all the way in GEORGIA! Since they couldn't make it to celebrate at the party... they sent a huge package full of presents! What a lucky girl!
Here is Delilah opening her UPS box from the Alexander Family!

What a nice surprise!


The 12 month mark also means...
vaccines!
She was such a brave girl though!


She also found her first dollar bill, y'all!
We put it in her piggy bank, that she got at her birthday party, for safe keeping!


The big party wasn't the only thing we did this month! We were very social, too!
Here is Delilah playing at the giant food court playground, at one of our local malls!

We also played with all the puppies at the adoption center...



And we had a great 4th of July, too! 

We had lunch at Chili's (one of our favorite restaurants!) and went swimming at the pool!




And last, but certainly not least...
Delilah learned to walk!!!!!
Here is a short video I made of some of her first steps!
The video is unfinished, but I really like the direction it's going.


Phew!!! What a month!!! 
Can't wait to see what's ahead for Miss Delilah Kate!
