Blythe's Birthday Party

Sunday we had Blythe's First Birthday Party!! Her birthday is technically Friday, but we thought Caleb was going to have to be overseas so we moved it up. The trip got moved back, but the party remained where it was.



Our families came over and we ate some food, opened some presents, had some cake, and mostly just laughed at Blythe. I'm not sure what we used to do when the family got together before she was around. Now everyone just stares at her, but she doesn't seem to mind.


Some of the highlights are as follows...

She got a rocking chair and monkey from Mama J and Papa Tim.


A walker from Mommy and Daddy. Currently being pushed around on her knees. We're gonna work on the point of the walker later today.

A firetruck (she's chewing on a firewoman below) from Grandma Johnson and Papa Tim, and an octopus that sings when you throw stuff in it from Lainie and Pops aka the Chief aka Grandad... we don't quite have an official name for him yet.

Then it was time for cake...
The first taste didn't go over so good...

But after a couple more tastes she didn't mind it so much...

She was highly uninterested in eating any cake. She's very much a lover of salt like her Daddy. She licked some icing off her fingers and then went back to the toys.
Thanks everyone for helping us celebrate. We love you guys!!

That is too weird....I gave Lyza the same Dancing Octupus for her birthday in September. Lorin said it was possessed...danced whether you were dropping stuff in it or not so she was a little freaked out by it. I thought it was fun and am giving her another loud toy for Christmas! Also, Lainie is not anonymous...I picked right up on that one.
