Kaylee's birthday bash...1 yrs old!





























I can't believe my little girl turned one years old yesterday. As usual, she first woke up with her trademark smiles especially after singing the happy birthday song. It was so precious..she loves that song..she just couldn't stop smiling and giggling. After loving on her, we got ready for Kaylee's speech and feeding therapy. I know why on her birthday..she deserves a break right. Well we decided to go since she loves speech therapy and its only a 30 minute session. So, we made into a family affair. Our family of four cheered Kaylee on and sang songs to her. Did I mention she loves the ABC song..she can't get enough of it. It was a great opportunity to include Allison in the mix of things. Allison is such an awesome big sister, very protective and proud of her little sissy. It's so cute to watch Allison interact with Kaylee. They played with uncooked pinto beans together. Kaylee seemed to like the feeling of the beans...she kept grabbing them and mixing them around the container causing a mess. Once again I was amazed that she's touching and exploring with different things. The beans was definitely a good idea...Megan our speech therapist is awesome. Kaylee loves her and we are glad she's part of Kaylee's care team.

Kaylee was a big hit at her Chuck E Cheese birthday party. She loved every minute of it and I was pleased with the turn out. She was getting tired towards the end but its expected with all the activity going on. Kaylee looked adorable in her pink dress...just like a princess. She was a good sport wearing her princess birthday hat...so precious. Kaylee enjoyed everyone's company and loved all the attention. She didn't seem to be overwhelmed with all the lights and noise, actually I think she was intrigued by them. She was very alert taking everything in and watching everyone dance and play. She wasn't to sure about Chuck E Cheese..she just watched him and turned her head away. At least, we got a good picture of them together. I'm so glad we brought her high chair. She just sat there and everyone came to her like in a true princess fashion. I was very hesitant to give her any food since she gagged last time I gave her bread. She transitioned to stage 3 baby food very well. She loves fruits and yogurts pretty much anything sweet...she must take after Grandpa Bruce and her big sissy. I've tried the little stars that dissolves and she tolerate them pretty well. So, we decided to be brave and give Kaylee some pizza. I was so surprised to see her eat the cheese part of the pizza. She chewed it up instead of swallowing it or gagging...I was so amazed. She drank some tea though a straw and tried some birthday cake. It was too cute to see her eyes light up after giving her some frosting...it was priceless. She kept wanting more but I limited the amount to avoid any tummy aches. Kaylee had some cute baby friends....her little boyfriends. The two little boys were Kaylee's age and both of them have Down Syndrome. Brayden and Jack are so precious and loving. They are so happy always laughing and smiling. Kaylee is so lucky to have such wonderful little friends. It was so precious to see them staring at each other...Kaylee loved the attention. Overall, we had a wonderful time and couldn't be more pleased with the turnout. It would be a day that we will never forget and always treasure. We are so blessed to have such loving and supportive family and friends. Thanks again for your prayers and support!

God Bless you all!
