Birthday Girl

Gemma turned 1 on Sunday. It was so much fun! We celebrated her at Nana and Papa's house with lots of family and friends, and she loved all the attention. She got all sorts of fun toys and cute clothes, and it was so fun to watch her enjoy her day. I couldn't possibly love her any more!

Wondering why I'm taking a picture of her first thing in the morning.

Her dedication...me trying to keep her quiet

She liked eating her cake

See you Later

Nap

When Gemma decides she's not tired, she can spend up to an hour talking and playing in her crib instead of napping. Yesterday it was non stop talking. It was so cute I wanted to get it on camera but was only able to record 20 seconds because I was trying hard not to laugh.

First gift

Gemma's birthday party is still 6 days away, and the gifts have already started coming. She got a Cozy Coup from Nana and Papa a little early, and I'm not kidding when I say...She absolutely LOVES it. The faces and giggles she made when she first got it were priceless, I wish I could have captured those on camera or video. Of course the camera was not charged at the time, and I didn't know where the video recorder was. These are still pretty cute, they definitely capture how much she enjoys her Coup...Thanks Nana and Papa!
I have a few videos I need to post soon, I just don't have the time today...maybe tomorrow :)
