Guess who had a birthday?
Yep, we partied like it was Caroline's birthday this weekend.
Because it was.
Or at least pretty close.
Poor third child had to celebrate two days late
because of conflicts with big sis' dance recital.
(A post on that to follow!)
She didn't seem to mind.
We started off the shindig with gifts.
Her big one:
A little tikes car.
She LOVES it.
And our backyard was screaming
for a little vehicle like this.
Then we moved on to cake.
You gotta love First Birthday cake.
Let's see....Why don't we give her
more sugar than she's ever consumed?
And while we're at it, let's light
it on FIRE!
She was a bit hesitant at first.
Little nibbles.
Gradually her face got covered in frosting.
It was finger-lickin' good.

She went straight for the cake.
She was a royal mess by the end.
And demanded to be cleaned up
quickly because she wanted to ride
in her car. Hurry it up, Mom!
After her little party, we went to
B's baseball game and a ward cookout.

She took her first steps there at the park!Two of them right into big brother's arms.
She's still not walking, though.
Just taking a step here and there.
Won't be long.
And just to give you a couple of glimpses into the life of Caroline:
Even though she's not walking on her own, she can nearly run behind push toys.
And she has entered the dreaded screeching phase. Whit went through this, too. I can't remember how long it lasted, but hope it goes by fast.

babies eating their first birthday cake - gotta be one of the most classic moments in a human's life. hee hee! happy birthday!
She's walkin' ---just needs a liitle help from some wheels.
And a happy screeching birthday to you, Caroline Rose.
We are in the screeching stage too! The new walking phase is so fun...but it comes with the screeching at our house too. This year sure flew by!
Oh my, she is beyond cute. Truly scrumptious.
Happy Birthday Caroline! I love the video of her sticking her face in the cake! Yum!!
So cute!
SCRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!
For reals?? She's a year old already?? Holy moly!! I can't believe you actually got the face-in-the-cake on tape -that's the sort of moment I always just BARELY miss on film! My kids all ran over here when I played the "screech" one - they all laughed and thought it was great :) We'll see what they say when they're little sister starts up with that!
I meant THEIR little sister, not they're....
Love the little cake...so cute, but Caroline is even cuter!
Caroline is adorable. I was just thinking the last time I saw you guys Whitney was Caroline's age and doing little screeches at the Italian Restaurant we went to in Salt Lake. Has it really been that long or am I mistaken?
