Birthday!

Finally the birthday post....better late than never! Lahna was not in our plans but God definitely knows what He's doing!  She is such a character.  She is so spunky and makes us laugh everyday.  Words can't express what an amazing blessing she is!

On her birthday Lahna ate pancakes for breakfast, spent time with Grandma Sue, and went swimming at the Y with Bryce and I.  It was a perfect day!

Birthday Girl!

Loves being the center of attention!

Lahna has changed so much in the last year. 

You can see how much she's grown in this outfit.

Only a few days old

4 months

One year

Lahna got not one, but two birthday parties.  We had one in Omaha after Thanksgiving with Bryce's family. Bryce was working so we had another one with my family.  Both were tons of fun!  I don't have pictures of the birthday in Omaha because no one had a working camera and I don't know how to get the pictures off my phone.

Pink dessert!

Oreo balls

sugar cookies

pretzels

Lahna opening presents with Grandma.  She loves her Peek-a-who book! (Thanks Nancy)

She was thrilled when I told her she got her own birthday cake! Can't you tell?

She didn't dive right in like I thought she would.  She was actually very dainty about the whole thing, not sure where she got that trait.  Andrew decided to smash her hands into the frosting to see what she would do but she wasn't loving it.

Thanks Uncle Andrew

Get this off of my hands!

Finally starting to enjoy herself

Yum.

After a while she loved her cake and started making interesting(I think that's the best word) faces.

Growling at someone who got to close to her cake.

Another stunning pose.

"Look Mom...."

"...no hands!"

Tara and Katie bought her a motorized pink car...just for Lahna!  She was a little scared of it at first but she's finally getting the hang of it.  Now she can push the button and drive it all by herself, although she has a problem steering so the cats definitely know to avoid her!

And some videos for your enjoyment.  As a forewarning you can turn the sound down on the first video while we sing Happy Birthday.  Let's just say we never claimed to be great singers.
