Worlds of Fun

Each year Jeremiah's work pays for the company to spend the day at Worlds of Fun! This year we took Amaya and she got to see Snoopy. She wasn't sure what to think about him at first but warmed up quickly:). Here are some pictures of our day.

Fun in the Sun!

So Cold!!!

Amaya has been enjoying all of her birthday gifts. She loves her new activity pool! Amaya has a very short attention span and I was able to keep her busy in the pool for over a half an hour! I love this weather and it has been so nice getting outside with her.

She went for her one year check up this past Monday and is doing great. She is now 19 pounds 4.5 ounces! The dr. said that she is ready for a front facing car seat. We bought her one on Monday evening and she is loving it. I haven't heard her cry in her car seat at all this past week, I love it!

Birthday Party!

We had a very eventful day. Amaya had over 30 guests attend her 1st birthday party. She loved the cake (until she got frosting in her eyes) and her presents. It was such a hot day for a party and the house was so crowded, I felt like I didn't get to talk to anyone the entire time.

Thanks to all who came to share in this special day! I hope to catch up with you all soon, yesterday was just a little crazy:).

Happy Birthday Amaya

A year ago today I was waiting for my sweet baby girl. She came in to this world at 11:56pm, after over 17 hours of labor! I can't believe how much time has gone by. What a great blessing she has been in our lives. I love being a mom, it is a dream come true. Tomorrow we will celebrate her first year with friends and family. I can't wait to see her eat her cake and open gifts!

The month of May is a busy time for us. We had family visit and we are planning Amaya's first birthday party! I can't believe our baby is almost one. She is getting close to walking but is still too scared to stand on her own. She is really in to the "Backyardigans" and the "Wonderpets. I love to watch her dance when she hears the theme songs, it cracks me up. I even bought the songs to play on my ipod when we're in the car, she loves it!

Mother's Day

I had a great first mother's day. I woke up to pancakes and eggs:) and mother's day gifts from Jeremiah and Amaya. We went out for lunch with my family at Texas Roadhouse (my fave) and then headed to Topeka to visit the rest of Amaya's grandma's. We had a great day and Amaya was such a good girl. I am so blessed to be a mother, it is the best thing in the world!

One of my favorite things to do is make Amaya laugh. Today I was just making some funny faces and she started cracking up. I was lucky enough to get her on tape without her noticing:). (Bo is sneezing near the end of the video).
