She is ONE!!!

Sorry for taking so long with posting new pictures. Lately, it seems I haven't had any time to do any updating... well, I could update when she goes down. But, lets be honest, I would much rather be lazy and enjoy how quiet it is with her asleep.



Jayden had a birthday on April 5th. It is crazy to think that she is one! It makes me sad to see her grow up in a way. She has always been my snuggler, I don't ever want her to grow out of it. I honestly don't think any of my other kids will be as snuggly as she is. I love it! I'll have to cross my fingers and hope this next one loves their Mom just as much.

Grandma Kathy made her this cute little cake for her to dig in. I would like to say that she ripped it apart... Unfortunately, she had a lot of help with this one. It turns out she is more like her Dad than I had originally thought. She hates dirty. We sat that cake in-front of her and she just looked at it for a while and decided she was more impressed by her bare belly than the cake. She would, ever so slightly, touch the top of the cake to make a couple sprinkles fall off, and then look at us like "now what?". When she finally got some frosting on her fingers, she would swing her hand over to Dad as if he would help her clean it off. After we all got pretty bummed that she wouldn't tear into it, Uncle Aaron helped out by putting her foot through the cake. That didn't seem to go over well with Jayden. She then decided it was time to call it good.










Jayden got one of her favorite toys for her birthday. We threw a little BBQ for her birthday at my Mom's house. She got Jayden a little Elmo couch. She loves the one at my sisters house, so THANK GOODNESS they thought to get one for Jayden. When they brought that couch out, her face just lit up! She sat on that couch the rest of the night! It was cute because she would lean back in the corner of the couch, put one arm around the back of the couch and then cross her legs at the ankles. I tried really hard to get a picture of that... no such luck. I was too slow. She is also ver protective of this little couch. She only lets a select few "sit" on that couch with her. She is pretty content with her sippy cup and her toy dog on the couch. When Dad tries to lay on that couch, she crawls over and pulls his hair and pretty much yells at him to get off. Me on the other hand, we hang out on it all day. Ha ha.









She pulls a pretty sad looking face when someone sits on her couch. You almost start to feel bad for her. She then just turns and pushes the little ones off. That feeling goes away pretty quick. Little stink!

Of course, you think back a year ago when they were so tiny. I never thought of her being this big already. For some reason I just thought she would stay tiny for much much longer. So, I am gonna add some pics of her when she was born... oh, how time seems to fly by.
