Oakley's birthday party!

We had Oakley's party a week after her birthday since her birthday was on Labor Day weekend. We did it at my aunt Diane's house cause our house is not really big enough for lots of people. I love how everything turned out! I started planning like 2 months before. I'm not a party thrower so I was nervous it would just be stupid. So many people came to show love for my little baby! It was a great day!! 



 This is not a great picture but this is what was above the big table.


The dessert table.


Balloons!



Her cake! I ended up making two, 5 layer cakes. The first one tasted awful!!!
Oh, and it started melting in the car ride there:( So that's why it is sagging and kind of ugly at the bottom.


The inside!


She loved it!

Oakley is ONE

So, it has been a wayyy long time since I've posted anything. I'm lazy, I know. Lots has happened since last time.
Oakley is growing up so much it's crazy. She has gone from a cute, precious little baby to a sassy, happy, silly, loving (the list could go on), toddler. She loves to go, go, go! Here's a list of all the fun stuff Oakley is up to.

-Has been walking since about a week or so before her birthday, and perfecting it more and more every day!

-Loves turing off the TV with the side button. (We had to scoot the TV over cause it was happening way too much)

-She will eat anything we are eating but if I make her her own food she gets to be a little more picky.

-She likes to push stuff around. (she got a shopping cart for her birthday so it's perfect)

-LOVES books. She will bring us book after book and sit in our lap and read. The book she brings most often is the most non-baby book she has, The Ox Cart Man.. haha

-She loves sitting on things! We got her a tiny chair for her birthday and she is sitting in it all the time.

-She likes eating her breakfast in her chair.

-Likes to cuddle with her dog and baby. (Not for long though)

-Loves going outside.

-Loves sitting on the front step stepping on ants and leaves.

-Loves picking up crab apples from the lawn and bringing them to us.

-LOVES her daddy more then anything! She gets so excited when he walks through the door!

-Loves yo gabba gabba, All my friends are different song.

-Always wanders the house. Her favorite room is the kitchen in the treat cupboard.

-Talks all the time in her cute jibberish language.

-Words she says: Daw (dog and other random stuff), Mo (More), Mom, Da, Ba (She says it to a lot of things), MMMM (anytime she sees food), NO (that is her all time favorite word) That's all I can think of at the moment. She is a real talker though.

-She has a hard time sharing with other kids. She's not around kids very often.

-She is finally sleeping through the night. We did cry it out and now she will go to bed (still cries for a minute or two) and sleeps till morning. It is fabulous! She was sleeping with us every night.

-She really likes taking baths. She will only get in on her terms though. So sometimes we have pee accidents on the tub carpet while waiting for her to get in.

-Loves to laugh.

-Loves to be silly.

-Loves peek a boo. Even with strangers at stores and restaurants.


This girl is seriously the most fun adorable happiest child! I am so blessed to have her. I LOVE her so much I can't believe she is mine. This year has gone by so fast and I can't wait to watch her grow and learn this next year!

I will post some more recent pictures of Oakley soon!
