Some Bunny Special

Saturday afternoon we went to our friend Lilly’s 1st birthday bunny bash, and Helen Grace wore a bunny dress just for Lilly. Since we were all dressed up and clean, we had a mini photo shoot.

HG tried out Lilly’s birthday gift, and she seemed to really like sitting in a big girl chair. Speaking of chairs, I learned today that we can no longer sit HG on a couch or chair and turn our back for even a split second. This afternoon, I set her down in her in the chair in her room for a minute, and I was digging for something in her closet a few feet away. When I looked back to check on her a few seconds later, she was on the floor- eek!! Luckily, she landed on her bottom (still can’t figure out how she managed that maneuver) and wasn’t hurt or upset, just surprised. Ruh roh! Bad mom of the month… :(

Some of our FTM buddies…Mom Lauren and itty bitty baby Libby, Callum (standing), HG with her hand in Graham’s lap, Camille, Caroline, Lilly (standing), Emsley, Mom Chasity and baby Abigail (Abigail has a twin brother, Connor, who was chowing down and missed the photo op)

One of the Kindermusik teachers came and gave us a mini class during the party. Those of us who go to Kindermusik really enjoyed it, especially because she gave all of the songs a bunny twist for the the birthday girl (as noted by the bunny ears below), but we giggled a little at the reaction of the moms who hadn’t been before. I think they all thought we had lost it, acting so silly and bouncing around! But we do silly things to make our babies happy! (P.S. HG wasn’t too crazy about the bunny ears. She didn’t pull them off (I kept her distracted), but she gave some resistance to my putting them on her head.)  Helen Grace couldn’t get enough of Camille’s shiny silver shoes. When I showed John these pics, he laughed and asked why she was trying to get Camille’s shoes when she wouldn’t wear her own shoes! We think she really wanted to nibble on them since that’s what she prefers to do with hers. :)

Happy Birthday, Lilly!
