12 months
Happy Birthday Gracie! Sunday you turned 1! I can't believe a whole year has come and gone. You have changed our lives for the better. You bring joy and laughter into our lives each and every day. We can't believe how much you grow and change month to month. You have such a personality and are usually the center of attention!Things you can now do:
- You can stand not holding on to anything. You are getting very close to walking and have even taken a few steps.
-You can now say Momma, Dada, Lily, up, no, ok, yes, done, down, this, that, hat, head, Jacob, Jackson.
-You can sign milk, more,all done, and eat.
-You can shake your head no and you can point to your head when asked.
-You love food and will eat anything (as long as it has no allergens in it.)
-We found out this month you're allergic to goat milk as well.
-You can make some animal sounds: a dog, a bee, and a fish. You're pretty close to saying moo for a cow.
-You can get on and off your ride on toys on your own.
-You love babies and kids!
-You give great hugs and sometimes kisses.
-You love your blankie.
-You've started weaning yourself from breastfeeding and only do it before naps and bed, but if we are out you'll fall asleep in the car without it.
-We've started sleeping in a bed together and you are doing great!
-You hate wearing headbands and rip them out as soon as they go on.
- You love dogs and aren't the least bit afraid of them.
-Your favorite song right now is head, shoulders, knees, and toes.
-Your favorite toys are Tupperware, cell phones, cutting boards, pot and pans. Basically anything that isn't a toy.
-You love books and will play with your book bin for 20 minutes uninterrupted.
We love you baby girl! Keep growing!

Ladybug Birthday Party
Sorry but this one is pretty picture heavy. I'm a little behind on blogging, but I'm hoping to catch up this week. I figured I'd do a detailed blog about Grace's birthday party, because I got so many of my ideas from other peoples' blogs. Enjoy!
I was so happy to find the Duncan-Hines cake mix and frosting are dairy free. I made the regular cupcakes, whipped the frosting, piped it on with a 1M swirl, added sprinkles, and stuck in these ladybugs. Cute, dairy free, and yummy! In fact I froze the left over cupcakes to eat later!
I made my own cupcake stand using cardboard cake circle and cups. Easy and cheap!
Ladybug crackers
Some drinks. I bought these ladybug cut outs and used them on everything.
I glued some wooden ladybugs to paperweights to keep the plates and napkins from blowing away.
I also glued black pom poms to many things to make it look like ladybug spots.
I attempted to make these mini pies. They were a pain so I only made a few.
I also made ladybug antennas out of pipe cleans for everyone to wear.
I tried to stick with the ladybug/picnic theme, so ants on a log!
French fry cookies to go with the hamburger cookies (picture further down.)
Grace all ready for her party!
So excited to be turning one!
Testing out her Zebra.
The banner I made. It's hard to see but it has the little ladybug cut outs on it.
I made her hat and painted her water bottle. I ordered her bib online, but the woman is no longer taking orders.

I bought these labels off ebay to put on Hersey kisses.
