Rayna had a great couple of birthday parties! She got a ton of toys and books, which she has enjoyed playing with everyday since her birthday. It was so nice to be surrounded by such great friends and family, and it was also fun to see everyone's kids running around and playing. Rayna went to the doctor on Monday, July 20th and she checked out healthy as a horse. She's growing like a weed and weighed 19lbs 13oz and measured 30 1/2 inches. This time the doctor said she was in the 25th-50th percentile for her weight, and around the 90th percentile for her height! She is saying a few words, granted they are not a 100% clear yet, but you can still tell what she means. She is saying "dawg", "dow(meant to be down)", "bo", and "go-go". She's also started pointing at things in the last week or so. She looks so funny pointing that little finger at something so you will give it to her. She still loves her books, and almost prefers those over her toys. But let's not be silly, she LOVES her toys, too! As I mentioned in some of the posts below, she is walking around and becoming an old pro at it. It's just so funny to watch her toddle around. It has truly been an amazing year, and I look forward to celebrating every year to come!! Thank you to everyone that has enjoyed the year with us! We love having the opportunity to raise our daughter being surrounded by such great family and friends!!!
The aftermath of her birthday cupcake at mom's house.
haha...she's got a bit of a cupcake mustache.
She really liked cupcakes! I think she might have liked them so much more than her actual cake because she could pick them up and hold them in her hand.
Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday Dear Rayna...Happy Birthday to you!
My little baby is growing up so quickly!
Mommy and Daddy got Rayna her very first Radio Flyer Wagon for her birthday. She just LOVES taking rides around the yard in it!
My cousin Michael's beautiful daughter Ella. It was SOOO nice that they came to Rayna's birthday party, and we really enjoyed visiting with them. Rayna and Ella really seemed to enjoy playing with each other, too!
I decided to carry on a family tradition we had growing up. From this point forward, we are getting the kids together at least once a year (hopefully more) and each time we can get together we are going to get their pictures (and how ever many more might come along in the future) together. Although it didn't seem like we could get the two of them to look at the camera at the same time. haha!
Awwww...Ella was giving Rayna a kiss!
Rayna with her 1st birthday cake. She didn't really tear into it as I thought she might have. Maybe next year, when she really understands it's ok to get dirty and has more of a taste for real food!
She just kept poking at it. haha!
Rayna's very own birthday cake. I just loved the design that they did on it!! A crown for the princess, ya know?
The cake that we had for the party was decorated equally as neat (and tasted GREAT)!
haha....I think that she got a bit carried away. But it sure made for a great picture!
hahaha...she could not stop smiling! I don't know if it was the cupcake or the sugar high. haha!
What a little ham!!!
She really enjoyed eating her birthday cupcake! And this has to be my favorite 1st birthday picture of her...hands down! haha!

Such stunning look. You have given me a decent idea for dolling up for my sister’s retro inspired bridal shower party that will be organized at one of the best NYC venues. I need some chic ideas for my mom as well. She doesn’t wear dresses so it will be good if you can share some alternate ideas.
