This girl is one!! I can't believe it. I remember exactly where I was when Nicole told me she was pregnant(standing in my closet...crying), where I was when she went to the doctor the first time (at cheerleading practice...crying), where I was when we found out she was a girl (at Moe's...screaming/crying inside to Brandon, "A niece!") and where I was when she was born (at the hospital, of course...the first person to hold her after the parents!) Because I was in love with her, I talked about her all of the time and everyone said, "Wait until you have one of your own!" Um...I do...I was just talking about her...I would do anything for Lily that I would do for "my" baby. Obviously these people do not have a twin to understand this, so I would nod and smile knowing she was mine. Then I had one of my own and it
is different. Now I know how much Nicole loves her and I love her even more because of what she means to Nicole. I guess that is what they meant.
Nicole is way more excited than Lily. I think it is because the cake is half chocolate.
I fed her guacamole during the entire party. Delicious.
Then she fed me some. We hang out all the time.
Anderson was the party animal at his first ever birthday party. (Don't hate on the swaddle if you were thinking about it...)
Lily learned the meaning of "easy" over the weekend as we yelled it while frantically pulling her off of Anderson. She loved him. She even let him "borrow" her dvd player in the car by throwing it at him. Best friends.
Easter basket from Aunt Manda!! How spoiled is this boy?
Speaking of Aunt Manda, she is a little crazy as she VOLUNTEERED to watch both of them while Nicole and I went to this consignment sale/garage sale.
Anderson made a new friend in Birmingham!
He also met Aunt/Cousin Knight who gave him an AUTOGRAPHED copy of
Elephant Blue. It is his favorite already.
