Happy Birthday Callie!

What a week it's been. Exactly one week ago Callie turned the big 1. She of course went Granger style on us and celebrated it all week long. We started Tuesday morning with some graham crackers, Callie's fav, and then headed to the doctor's for our one year visit. I felt like a terrible mother taking her child to the doctor on her birthday- and having to get shots on top of it. But I told myself I'm giving her the gift of health, right?! I still cried as much as she did getting the shots, it's just not right having to pin your child down!! I'm happy to report thought that Vaughn and I have a healthy happy child who weights 23lbs (80%) and is 31"tall (off the charts!). That night we headed to The Pizza Joint for dinner with my folks. Callie was gifted with lots of new clothes for the fall and next summer- YAY! After all the excitement of the day, she was exhausted and Vaughn and I didn't even get to give Mac her gifts until later, which ended up being Sunday. She didn't seem to mind, because she still seemed excited to open them then. :)

New bath toys and DVDs!

Thursday was Granddaddy's (Mr. Granger's) birthday, so we headed to the Palmetto Club for a family dinner. She immediately went for the remote control, he favorite item on our coffee table. Granddaddy didn't mind one bit, anything for his grand baby!

Callie was a hit with the waitress and she got her own order of french fries.

After some french fries for dinner Callie got her very first birthday cake! She wasn't so sure at first, but after a little taste she was hooked.

YUM

Family Pic!

Daddy decided that she had enough cake and took it away.. :( Debo "Nana" took over and helped Callie wash it down with a sip of water, by the look of her face, not so sure she liked that!

Sunday we had Callie's first birthday party at mom and dad's lodge in Blythewood. Thankfully we had this planned because our house is under attack by a terrible smell. Unfortunately we have had some dog pee pee problems and not are replacing our carpets, yay for us. Anyway, back to Callie's birthday party. We had some wonderful friends come and help us celebrate. It was a polka-dot themed party- Callie had her dots on, the food was all circles and balloons to decorate! Pretty easy :)

Four Generation Shot: Seems that we'll never get the two Callie's to actually look at the camera!

Playing with Uncle Bob, please disregard my facial expression, it's amazing what you'll do to get your kid to laugh!

All in all Callie's first birthday was awesome. She is such a great baby and Vaughn and I are truly blessed to have her a part of our family. Now that she is one the question we always get is "When are y'all having another?!" Let's just say- we're enjoying our family of three for now!
