Ariyana turned one today, I can’t believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday Zach and I went to Party City and bought 4 pink balloons. We also went to Wal-mart and bought some of those mini cupcakes for Ariyana’s birthday and daycare.
This morning we waited til 7:26a to go into her room to get her out of bed. Why 7:26a you ask, because that is the exact time she was born last year. So Zach has the camcorder on and I am holding the balloons and a mini cupcake with a candle lit in the center of it. We walk upstairs, open her door, and start singing Happy Birthday to her….she looked so puzzled the whole time….those of you who know her call it her worried look. Then I picked her up and gave her a big hug and kiss and told her she was one. We then put her on the floor and let her play with the balloons. She was grabbing them with her fingernails, we were positive that she was going to pop them and it would scare her….but she didn’t. Then after a couple of minutes we gave her the cupcake. At first she didn’t know what to think but then she grab a sprinkle off and ate it. Then she put her finger in the icing and tried it….then it was two fingers in the icing…then the whole hand, then she just took the cupcake and put it in her mouth. She ended up eating most of the icing but none of the cake part. It was so cute, she had it all over her face and was just smiling from ear to ear. After the cupcake, we got her ready for daycare and took her there and brought the rest of the mini cupcakes for the babies and teachers there. As soon as we walked in with her, the teachers were like Happy Birthday Ariyana, it was so cute, I can just tell they really enjoy her.
After work, Zach and I went to pick Ariyana up from daycare, ran to the store to get some items for our cookout and headed home to get ready for our family to come over. My mom and stepdad and his mom and mom’s fiance came over to cookout with us to celebrate Ariyana’s birthday. We had so much fun hanging out and letting them play with Ariyana. She had one and a half hot dogs and some baked beans. Then we got Melissa on the webcam so she could sing Happy Birthday with us. We all sang and then we gave Ariyana a mini cupcake to eat. She was very slow to start eating it. She ate one sprinkle, then she would pick a sprinkle off but wouldn’t eat it, she would try to hand to someone else. After she got bored with that, she flipped the cupcake upside down and ate 2 little pieces of the cake part….and that was all she wanted of the cupcake. She got down and started playing again. At like 9 pm, we took pictures with the grandparents and they headed home and a tired Ariyana headed to bed…….she had a very good birthday. She is also having a big party on Sunday….so stay tuned!!
