My baby is one

Well, the getting up at 6 a.m. thing hasn’t gone so good this week – Dang it! It was good while it lasted right? I am going to try harder next week. (YAH Right!)

I downloaded some cute digital scrapbook paper from Shabby Princess and I made this cute little collage of Kara. I need to find some cute "words" to put on the paper on the side. I could spend way to much time playing around with this stuff.

Kara celebrated her one year birthday this week. I only got her one thing – a baby doll and she loves it! I guess I should say I only wrapped up one thing. I got her a dress that she wore for her pictures and two pairs of shoes and other things that she needed before her birthday. She had no clue what was going on. The boys were excited though. They woke up and Trent remembered it was her birthday so we got out the present and they helped her open it then they wanted cake and ice cream at like 7:30 a.m. – they seriously don’t get it! Then all day they wanted to know when they could have it. Finally Ray came home and we had dinner then sang to Kara and she didn’t get how to blow the candle out and as I was trying to show her, I blew it out. Oh, well - maybe next year. Then we all got cake and ice cream. Kara liked it and didn’t get messy really. It is hard to believe that she is 1. This year has just flown by.

The day after her birthday I took her to her 12 month well-baby visit. She got 4 shots, poor thing, she cried so bad, she sure is a sensitive little gal - well and I'm sure it hurts. One interesting thing that the doctor brought up was that they are going to offer to do lead testing because of all the toy recalls – Our pediatrician will do it at age 1 and then again at age 2. I have to take Kara to the hospital, they just take a blood sample, but I figure it wouldn’t hurt to have it done. You should read Tennille’s blog about the plates with lead. SCARY!
