Its Time to Party!

The day started as any other...I woke up and Mommy got me from my crib, I played with Grandma GG and Grandpa Rus who were visiting, snuggled with Daddy, ate some food...

Took some naps...

And then things started getting funny...Mommy and Grandma GG left the house and came back with some floating shiny things in pretty colors that I thought were just awesome, and Mommy was putting away some of my toys and moving things around a whole lot. I knew something was up! There were some awfully yummy smells coming from the big white box in the kitchen so I decided to go check it out and see what was inside...

Then all kinds of people started showing up! First Great Aunt Cherie came with my cousin Jackson, then my other cousins Hannah and Alexander and Robert came, followed shortly thereafter by my friends Miss Amee and Oliver and Riley, Miss Cari and Samuel, and then my Aunt Lisa and Uncle James showed up with my cousins Emma, Sara, and Will!! I've never seen so many people in my house before!!! I got lots of hugs from everyone and had fun watching all my cousins and friends play with my toys and each other. Everyone kept saying 'Happy Birthday', and even though I'm not sure what it meant, I got the idea that it had something to do with me! Mommy put me on the couch and then my Aunt Lisa started giving me all these paper wrapped things that I had no idea what to do with...thank goodness my cousins and friends were there to help me open them!

I saw lots of things come out of those packages, neat looking toys, big colorful books, some clothes, and things for/to eat and drink! So much to take in!

I sure hope I get to look at all that stuff later because Mommy just put me in my highchair and everyone is coming over to see me! Wait, what is that blue thing over there??? I want to see that thing...but before I get a chance to, everyone starts singing to me!!!! More of that 'Happy Birthday' stuff...sure enough, they must be talking about me!!
At last! Mommy put the big blue thing down in front of me, though she did take the pretty little light off before she gave it to me. I wanted to look closer at that too, but didn't have the chance...however, there are more interesting things to investigate now, like what is this blue stuff????
MMMMmmmm...its sweet and yummy! I think I will investigate further!!!
Though the big blue thing was quite tasty and fun to play with, I was so busy watching everyone else eat things that I forgot about mine! Soon, everyone is telling me bye and going home. Mommy gets me out of my high chair and takes me for a bath! Super sweet, I love baths!! This has been such a great day! So much to see and do, I wouldn't mind another one of these 'Birthday' things soon! I think they are awesome!

((Even though Fletcher was nearly overwhelmed a time or two, he did have a good time and slept like a log (but his Mommy slept harder ;)! We wanted to thank everyone who could come to the party and share this special day with us. Thank you also for the wonderful gifts that we are sure to enjoy! If we didn't get to see you at the party, we hope we will see you soon!))
