Alice is 1 year old!

Alice is now 1! It is truly amazing how fast the time has flown. We had her 1 year check up today and she is doing great.

height 30 1/2 in 95%
weight 21 lbs 11 oz between 50 and 75%

Here are some pictures from the little party we threw with Gramma and the Jesters. Well first, on June 16th, which was Alice's actual birthday, Kevin put the girls to bed because I was at a Relief Society Pool party. He went and checked on Alice after she fell asleep and found her cuddled up with Mickey. So he took a picture. She had a long day!

The rest are the festivities from the party on June 20th

Jane and Ben in the pool. They are both independent swimmers, thanks to their floaties.

Kevin, Joshua, Jane, Ben, and Kim enjoying the refreshing water (Dad, the water looks great!)

May wonders never cease, yes that is actually Gramma in the pool. We laugh because even though the pool sits in my mom's backyard, she rarely goes in it. Nathan even commented last week when my mom donned her new suit, "Gramma, you're coming in? It's been 3 years since you've come swimming with us!" Yay!!!

After we were all done swimming, the party moved inside. Mikayla and Jane reading the 3 Little Pigs.

Alice wondering what the bright light is on her cake and not understanding what she needed to do with it. Kevin blew it out for her.

At first she stared at it. It looked good, but where and how to begin

She chose the one finger approach and pretty much stuck with that

Even offered me some toward the end

Then the squishing began. Her hands definitely got the messiest compared to her face and bib even.

Not too shabby

Present time, we went with diapers and recycled toys this year. Everyone loved them.

This is one of the nights I watched Morgan and Erin. Here are Jane and Morgan looking oh so cool!
