Happy First Birthday Sweet Olivia

The big day is here, and we can't believe how quickly the last year has passed, as Leigh woke up this morning and saw that it was already 7am and Olivia was still sleeping she thought back to what she was doing a year ago at 7am, and one thing is for sure, it wasn't sleeping, we believe it was something closer to having her water broken, if that is TMI for some of you, we are very sorry.

Olivia started the day around 7:20 which is on the late side for her, Leigh and Brad loved it since they had both taken the day off to spend it with their little one. Olivia joined the whole family in bed while Leigh sang Happy Birthday to her about 75 times in 75 different voices, Olivia thought it was hilarious, Brad and Riley not so much. We had breakfast and quickly realized that Olivia wasn't feeling so hot, she has been powering through 5 teeth in the last few weeks and some days are better than others, this morning was prooving to be one of the others. So Leigh called the photographer and rescheduled her big birthday shoot and the family decided they would spend a quiet day together at home.

It was a very short nap for Olivia and then it was time for Lunch, which consisted of Chicken Nuggets and Applesauce, she loved it. Then after a few hours of playing with Big Brother Riley and YaYa Worden, it was time for another nap...which is generally 2-3 hours in length....not today, Momma and Dada were home to play with her, so she broke records and was up in a quick 45 minutes.

GG Sandra arrived this afternoon so we all headed over to Leigh's parents for dinner, Olivia had her first full grown up meal: Chicken, Rice and Pudding/Cool Whip salad, she was in heaven. And then we brought out the smash cake for her to play with, we mean eat. She was very calm, but knew exactly what to do.

We will post the pictures after her party tomorrow, but wanted to recount the day while it was still fresh in our minds. Thank you to everyone that called to wish Olivia sweet birthday wishes, she apprecaites it. She is sad to report that her GG Turner won't be able to make the trip tomorrow, she is in Stanleytown Rehab after some serious back and leg pain, we are keeping her in our thoughts and prayers.
