We had another birthday party for Rachel on Saturday the 24th of April. We loved having the extended family over. Everybody took turns holding Rachel and helping her open gifts. Thank you for all the wonderful presents! You are too kind.
Then came cake!
It doesn't matter what she is eating. Rachel almost always unloads her plate
"See Mom? It's a plate!"
Her attempt at eating the cake in one bite didn't work out so well.
And ended up under her legs.
She LOVES cake.
And doesn't really care what's going on around her when she's eating it.
Her eating reverie was disrupted by Grandpa Goodwin's farewell.
She enjoyed quite a sugar high.
Which was quickly followed by her sugar crash.
She was done with her cake and done with partying.
The "after-party" started with a quick dip.
Then we got busy opening the last remaining presents. (Yes, she was spoiled this year. But, most everything she got was something that she needed anyway.)
TJ jumped in and began putting her "Walk 'n Ride" together. Rachel thought she'd help.
She loved it.
I practically had to pry her away to open her last remaining gift.
Doug quickly put her "Busy Ball Popper" together.
We played with it until Rachel crashed.
Happy Birthday Rachel! We love you!
Eliza got those same toys for her first birthday! That ball popper is the best toy! However, I've notice the new version is super loud. I wish they had a volume control.
ReplyDeleteI love extended posts! It's so funny when they're young how they open one gift, then want to play with it, and you have to convince them to open the rest! Then when they're older, they open one, then quickly throw it aside to open the next. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd we have one of those ball toys too. They're the best!
She is such a beautiful little girl! Looks like a fun party, an I love your cake smash pictures!
ReplyDeleteMust have been a wonderful party. I especially love the picture of Rebecca and Rachel!
