Party Girls

It was lil'bub's best friend Leila's first birthday on Saturday, so we got all dressed in our party attire. Both girls looked like little princesses! We had a wonderful time and Laurie was a fabulous host. I just wish we could have taken a well-rested baby to the party instead of no-nap Avery!

She usually takes an early morning nap, but I think I might have gotten her a little too excited about the party, because she was totally not interested in napping at all. Well, that's kind of an understatement because the girl was BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS! So of course she had a meltdown in the middle of the party. Thankfully, I was able to revive her with a little strawberry birthday cupcake and we stuck it out to the end! She crashed as soon as we got in the car, as we knew she would.

All dressed and ready to go

oh wait, let me put on a little lipstick :)

Bub the hub is home all next week for vacation. We have to get just a few therapies and one dr. appointment out of the way and then we can relax at the beach. Can you believe it's already August??
