Paige's First Birthday

I had my first birthday on Saturday. Lots of people came to help me celebrate. I LOVE frosting...that's my favorite part. I especially liked all of th attention I got when eating, so I really hammed it up for my audience. After my night of partying I was really excited to play with my bubble machine. Cousin Max was pretending to eat them while Gpa blew the bubbles. I thought it was hilarious!

This was my "pool party." It was chilly, but I still LOVED being in the water. My friend, Sydney, and cousin, Max, enjoyed it just as much!

Aunt Nettie decorated my cake. Isn't it fun? Mommy and Daddy make cupcakes that looked like beach balls as well.

I was ready for my pool party in my watermelon suit. Overall it was a blast! I was sure tired!!

Peekaboo and napping with Daddy!

Daddy took me upstairs to read me a story before I went to bed...Neither of us lasted long...we were out when Mommy caught us with the camera!

This is a dress that someone from Gma and Gpa's coffee group gave me when I was first born. I LOVE summer!

I thought I was being sneaky, peeking around the table, but Mom caught me! :)

Paige's Long Trip

After we returned home from our long trip, we visited Dr. Kosz and Nurse Bev. It has been almost a year since they have seen me, so we had fun playing together. Dr. Kosz is who took care of my mommy and got me out of her fast and safe. He is a special man with a great gift.

I think Derek Jeter is cute like my mom. :)

I spent a couple of innings sleeping, but then I enjoyed the excitement of the Yankee's victory soon after my power nap!

I stopped off at the Hershey Chocolate Factory in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Daddy, Cousin Makayla, and I posed in Gettysburg at a historic building while taking a break to eat.

These rocks were at Gettysburg. I'm sure my dad will take me back here when I'm old enough to care about history. He LOVES to learn about it, so we'll be back...

I thought the Amish country in Berlin, Ohio was really neat. I liked the buggies and horses on the roads! The people were very friendly, too!

Mommy, Daddy, Makayla, and I went on a really long trip earlier this month. We started at my parents' friend, Todd's, wedding in Chicago. Then we drove to the Amish country in Ohio and Gettysburg, Indiana, finally ending up in New York City for a NY Yankee game. We went from the extremes of the simple Amish life to that of the crazy New York City people. I really liked flirting with the people on the train into the city even though we could not understand one another.

Here Daddy and I pose in front of "Touch Down Jesus" at Notre Dame...where Daddy thinks I need to go to school. I think he really just wants tickets to football games. :)
