Louisa'a new baby doll...

For her 1st birthday, Blair and I gave Louisa her very first baby doll.
I think she gave it her seal of approval when she licked her head
and then poked her eyes out. She did try to share her bottle with the baby doll- too cute!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOUISA!!!

Louisa turned ONE on August 19th! What a difference a year makes! We had a cupcake themed party for our family and neighbors. Marmee made this fabulous cake to look like a giant cupcake (and like the invitation- she is so talented!). She also made the minature cake for Louisa to dig into herself! The party started out raining but quickly cleared up for everyone to enjoy a BBQ dinner outside. Louisa was amazing and seemed to love every minute especially the balloons!

Aunt Jo sent a special birthday hat!
Lulu even sported a cupcake smocked dress to go along with the theme!

More Birthday Party!

This is how I feel now that she has moved to Florida and can't come over to play anymore
