    Bailey's First Birthday Party

    Sunday, October 21

     

     

    Narrated by Bailey

    I love Sesame Street.

    My Grandpa Elvin (second from left) is Great Uncle Cerwin's brother. (Cerwin is sitting on the floor.)

    I wonder what I am supposed to do with this "doggy thing" Mommy is giving me.

    "No, Peyton, this is mine."

    Peyton is my big sister and is having trouble understanding that this is MY birthday.

    Did Mommy say that you can taste that?

     

     

    DSC_0378

    This is so squishy.

     

     

    DSC_0388

    I can't believe Daddy and Mommy are letting me do this.

     

     

    DSC_0397

    Oh, no. This is Cousin Trenton. I wonder if he wants a taste or if he is going to take it from me.

     

     

    DSC_0400

    It looks like Daddy is walking this way. "Am I doing something wrong, Daddy?"

     

     

    DSC_0401

    He just wanted a kiss.

     

     

    DSC_0409

    Now Peyton wants a kiss.

     

     

    DSC_0414

    Mommy too! Why is everyone kissing me?

     

     

    DSC_0417

    I wonder if he wants a kiss too? Why don't they let me alone with my cake.

     

     

    DSC_0416

    Can't you see that I am trying to finish this cake. Enough with the kisses.

     

     

    DSC_0419

    I still need to get the icing off of this cardboard.

     

     

    DSC_0420

    Read my lips! "No, you cannot have this."

     

     

    DSC_0425

    It looks like Peyton finally got her own cake.

     

     

    DSC_0428

    Everyone told me the grownup cake was good too.

    DSC_0436

    Presents are my favorite part.

     

     

    DSC_0437

    There is so much tissue paper.

     

     

    DSC_0438

     

     

    DSC_0441

    Daddy read this card to me. I am too young to read.

     

     

    DSC_0442

    Mommy told me about this book. I can't wait until we have time to read it.

     

     

    DSC_0445

    After I finished opening my presents, Daddy and Mommy's very good friend gave Peyton and me these beautiful counted cross-stitch samplers with our names and birthdates on them.

    Thanks everyone. I had a wonderful day.

    Love Bailey

    I love you, Lord God, and you make me strong.
    Y ou are my mighty rock, my fortress, my protector,
    the rock where I am safe, my shield, my powerful weapon,
    and my place of shelter.

    Do you think all God wants are sacrifices—empty rituals just for show?
    He wants you to listen to him!
    Plain listening is the thing, not staging a lavish religious production.
