1st B-Day Party

On Wednesday, May 6th, Gabriella turned one year old. On that day, we had a little celebration because everybody was at work. So, Kevin and I gave her a big party on Saturday, May 9th with all of the Morge/Dynda/Wilson families. Some of families weren't able to come, but they were in our heart. At the party, Gabriella had a blast with her cousins and ran around. We had pizza and cakes to eat. Before we ate cakes, we sang "Happy Birthday" to Gabriella and gave her a small cake with one candle. Of course, she wasn't able to blow it out, but we all helped her blowing the candle. Afterwards, we were looking forward to see how she did with cake: in our imagination she would eat all over the cake on her face as messy and ate like a pig. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Once she saw the cake, she didn't want to do anything with it...not even touch one tiny bit of frosting to taste it. She wailed and wanted to get out of this stuff. I as mom put frosting on my fingertip and tried to feed her. She refused to eat it. Oh well.. the fun is over. She hated that sticky frosting. icky... Later in a while, Gabriella had all the gifts to open. At first, she didn't understand with all of these gifts, but Kevin (Daddy) helped her open the gifts. Also, Gabriella's cousins helped too. All of these kids were excited and wanted to know what it was inside. How fun! Gabriella had a blast. We all want to tell all the families who came and weren't able to come, thank you for all the wonderful gifts. Sorry if we didn't send out thank yous, as it was late! Forgive us!

Before her birthday party, she had one-year-old doctor check up. She hated and still hates the doctors visits. However, doctor said that she was in fantastic condition and was now able to drink whole milk. I stopped breastfeeding her. Yay!!!! By the way, she was 30 in. height (80%), 20 lb. 14 oz (50%), and 46.5 cm head (75%). Of course, she received two shots. She had 8 total of teeth (4 of each). As of one year old, she walks skillfully, runs a little (like sprint walk), talks nonstop, and continues to eat well. She loves the books for us to read. She has learned some sign languages. It was so cute to see her signing with her little hands!
