52 weeks! Walking & 1st Birthday Party!!!



What a week Cara has had! We went to a Corn Maze last weekend and had alot of fun, she met some animals in their petting zoo and thought they were hilarious! Then on Thursday we went to the zoo with her buddy Leah and Leah's mom Rebecca and she had a great time there too - she is really aware of the animals and had a good laugh at the monkeys and eagles. That evening (Oct 22) she took her first steps!!! Amazing! We are so proud of her :) She's stepping alot now and doing really well with it!

We had her birthday party on Saturday and she had a blast! Her friend Freya came with her parents Verity & Rod and Nana and Howie came too. We had it between her naps which turned out to make for a perfect day - she was in a very happy mood all afternoon then had a great nap after the party was over. She loved all of her gifts and is so thankful to all of her family for spoiling her :) See all of the pics below!

Thanks everyone for making Cara's birthday so great for all of us! xoxoxo

Cara meets her birthday cake...

...she started by picking the smarties off one by one...

...then went for a cupcake ear followed by...

...the chocolate icing nose...

...she really got into it...

...she had a great time...

...then she grabbed her socks and rubbed them into her icing covered face!...
