Colette is 1!!

Well, it had to happen and so it did last Wednesday - Colette turned 1.  I cannot believe she is 1 already!  She is really cute, very strong willed and fun.  She loves getting to do things herself, she loves playing fetch with herself (she thows a ball and then chases after it), she is a total Mama's girl, and she loves her brothers.  She gets into things much more than the boys did - she is going to keep me on my toes! 

Anyway, here are some pictures from the day.  I let the boys pick out a present for her, and they chose this baby doll (which they won't let her play with now because they want to...)  They were so excited that they begged to give to her first thing:

My mom got her Little People's Noah's Ark.  She likes playing with it...when the boys let her:

Cake was an interesting experience.  Here she is excited about the upcoming prospect:

She went right for the frosting:

I love how she is using the pincer grasp on the frosting:

And then she got to the cake...it wasn't her favorite:

So she threw it in large chunks onto the floor:

I feel SO lucky that she is part of our family now.  She is my sweet baby girl and my buddy.
