We had a lot of fun celebrating Attia's first birthday! About a week before her birthday we did a birthday photo shoot with my friend Carrie. Attia had her first ever cupcake for the shoot, and it was so cute seeing her dive in. She loved the icing! The picture above is a little sneak peak - I'll post more when I get them!
March 1st turned out to be a gorgeous day (70 degrees!), so we were able to spend time outside playing with Rosa, and in the afternoon we went for a nice family walk. Attia loves to be outside, so she had a great time! That evening we did 'cake' and presents. Since we did a cupcake for the photo shoot, and we would be doing more at her party, we decided to give her a pumpkin muffin on her birthday. She devoured the whole thing! When we were finally able to peel her away from the muffin crumbs she enjoyed opening her presents. The only problem was that she liked what was inside so much that she didn't really want to keep opening more!
The following weekend we threw a birthday party for Attia, and her family and little baby friends came over to help her celebrate. We had a great turnout - our little house was packed! I wasn't sure what Attia would think, but she really enjoyed herself! I'll post pictures of the big event soon!
We also had a couple of nice visit from Attia's St. Louis grandparents around her birthday. Nana & Dpaw came to visit a few weekends before the big day, and Opa & Gigi visited on their way home from Colorado the weekend after her birthday. She/we really enjoyed spending time with all of them!
Thank you to all of our family and friends who helped us celebrate Attia's first birthday!
