Happy Birthday to my Baby!

Well, Madison's official birthday isn't until Tuesday, but we decided to celebrate this Saturday so we threw a pink/strawberry party. Madison LOVES strawberries so I made her a Strawberry yogurt cake with fresh straberry filling and whipped cream frosting. We had some of her favorites to eat: little puffs, strawberries, animal cookies, and strawberry yogut drops (ok, Madison didn't like these, but I had to get them to try because they were pink and so cute! ) and chips (yes, Madison likes nacho cheese doritos!) For the grown ups we had veggies and Pink lemonade punch!
I asked my mother-in-law to pick up a few helium baloons on her way over. She came with four of those shiny helium baloons and a helium tank that filled about 20 regular baloons! We had pink baloons all over the place! There was also pink streamers, pink plates and napkins and pink cupcakes!

This is Madison saying "uh-oh". Everytime I would rip the paper trying to get her started she would get a very concerned face and say "uh-oh" it was so funny!

Madison made out with a ton of stuff, mostly books,which is cool. She probably got like 20 books, no joke! She also got a cabage patch baby, a metal toy kitchen pot set (it is so cute, it even has a mini ladel and pasta spoon and pot holder) a pull along phone, a walker/car, a "baby" grand piano, bubbles, refrigerator magnet letters, and new shoes. She's in baby heaven! She is very spoiled (I mean, loved)!


I have to tell you about her cake. So I made it with straberries because she loves them. When she saw it she got so excited and would point and make her "excited face". After we sang happy birthday I gave her a straberry off the top but she wouldn't eat it with the whipped cream on it. She only poked at her cake and even spit it out with Mahlong tried to feed it to her! She didn't want ice cream either, but after I got the whipped cream off all her strawberries she happily ate them! She's so funny-she didn't want the sweet sugary stuff, only the strawberries! She would have been happier if I had put a pile of strawberries on her try with a candle in it!


Anyway, I can't belive my baby is already one! It went by so fast, I'm starting to get all emotional about her growing up and everytime she does something cute and "grown up" I want to laugh and cry at the same time. She's my pride and joy- she can make me the most frustrated, but is the only one who can make me feel better afterwards. She always brings a smile to my face and no matter how old she gets will always be my baby girl! I love you, Madison. Happy First Birthday, Baby!
