LILY'S BIRTHDAY!!!

Lily 1st birthday was everything we hoped for. Filled with family and fun times. Fun might be pushing it if you consider allergy testing and a milk allergy diagnosis fun.Anyhow, the day started with picking her Grandma McGuire up from the train station and proceeding to Lily’s allergy appointment. The appointment went well and there was no poking with needles but there was fun, new toys for Lily to check out. Lily was tested for egg and dairy and the dairy was positive on her skin test. We had blood drawn the next day for further testing. We opted not to stick a needle in her arm on her actual 1st birthday.


Unfortunately that afternoon randy and I had to go back to work. Lily got to hang out with her grandma, something she hasn’t been able to do muchThey both benefited greatly! That night Joy and the kids came over for dinner and cake. Lily explored the cake and dug in just a little She enjoyed feeding Randy and I with her frosting covered fingers. The dogs were disappointed with the crumbs of cake on the floor. I’m sure they held out hope for bigger pieces.

Finally it was present time. She was very good with opening presents, especially given she was up waaaaay past her bed time. But the actual tearing of gift wrap was impressive. Randy would prep the present by tearing it a little and Lily would complete the task. The big mistake…was opening the biggest present first. It was from Joy and the kids and was a little people barn and farm animals. We had to hide it so she would open the other 249 gifts. Of course, I’m kidding but it’s crazy how many gifts a little one can receive. Thank you to everyone for her birthday wishes and gifts.

Happy Birthday, Lily!! Can't wait to see your big, bad, one-year-old-self this weekend at Miranda's 2nd birthday party. I can't believe how old all the girls are getting! It doesn't help that their birthdays are all back to back...
