HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY MEREDITH!


  Well, it has now come and gone, our baby girl's first birthday!  I can't believe where we were just a year ago, so much has changed in our lives and with our little one.  We celebrated this momentous occasion with a party with 30ish of our closest family and friends.  It turned out to be descent weather and Meredith was in good spirits the whole time!  We want to thank everyone who was able to make it and also for all the thoughtful gifts.  I have to admit, I've been having fun with some of them too!


Meredith opening some presents

Everyone signing our two happy birthday songs to Meri

Not sure what to do with the cupcake yet
Trying her first handful
Deciding that it tastes pretty good
Really going for it now!
Meri after the party playing with one of her new toys, thanks Laeney, Finn and Brady!
Here's another one of Meri's new toys - our Burley.  It was a gift from Gma Stone (McCue), with a little contribution from her dad and I.  We took it out on our first bike ride a few weekends ago and ended up out and about for 2 hours!  It was so much fun for Jon and I, and Meredith seemed to like it too!  Here we are at Minnehaha Falls!

Meri had such a great time, she ended up falling asleep!

Here is Meri with her first B-day card from Great Aunt Carolyn and Great Uncle David

She liked the fun bow on the present too!


Thanks for the cute outfit and the 1st Bday Bib (which we totally used on her b-day)!
We had to take a picture because Meri gets SO mesmerized by Glee when they're singing and dancing.  She just stops and stares at the TV. Before and after the singing she's running around and playing, but as soon as they start to sing - she stops everything and watches!  She's even sitting in her toy box!
Here's another Glee song
We had a visit from our good friends Nicole and her daughter Paisley (they're only 3 weeks apart!)
