Saturday was a very special day for our family. Not only did we celebrate Hannah Claire's first birthday we watched her take her first steps. She has been getting very close but she would always fall forward (because she wanted to run, not walk). She finally found her balance on her big day. So we can walk, we are one and we still have no teeth! We kicked the party off around 10am so we could work around family traveling and HC's naps. It worked out perfect. Everyone arrived and HC wanted to show her newly learned skills. She would go between two of us and then clap and look around to make sure everyone was watching. Yes, we have a ham on our hands.
HC did pretty well at opening her gifts with a little help from Mommy. Here she is checking out her new bath mitt. It is Tigger, which is her absolute favorite right now.
I just love this picture. It shows how much fun she had. Here she had climbed into her new pool. I see lots of fun times in this over the next few months.
She did not enjoy the "Birthday Girl" hat. We expected this but I really wanted her to wear a hat so we gave it a try. Here are the results.
She hated it!!! We had high hopes for the smash cake. We had taken cupcakes to school the day before and HC dove in face first. She had it all over her face. Well, this one did not go as well. She gave it a try and then she was done. Diva!
We wrapped up the party with a show put on by Miss Lillian. She got tickled at Shane. I wish we had video of it because she was belly laughing. It was so sweet.
Thank you to everyone who made Hannah Claire's first birthday so special!!!
P.S. I'm not sure if you are suppose to do a p.s. on a blog but I did anyways. I have so many more pictures. I will try to put more up in the upcoming evenings. As you know if you follow our blog I have a hard time narrowing down pictures. They are all just so cute with HC in them! :)
