My baby's one!


My sweet little Sunshine turned one on Saturday!  I can't believe it's been a whole year since this precious babe joined our family.
Ashli truly is a joy! She is "talking" like crazy and loves to dance. Any time the music is on, her little body bounces to the beat. She'll be the third little ballerina in our family.  She loves to crawl around and more especially cruise around the furniture. She lets go for a few seconds to stand on her own, but we're still a bit away from walking. She loves to laugh and smile with the big open mouth smile. She loves to try and follow her big sisters around and dreams of the day she can run with them.
She is very much her own person and knows what she wants and what she doesn't. You really can't make her do anything as her squirmy little body wiggles away from your grasp.  She loves her momma and she is definitely a daddy's girl. Her whole face lights up and her little arms reach for daddy when he walks into the room.
We love you sunshine and are so happy you are part of our family!

Ashli's caterpillar cake! My first attempt with fondant.
I think she turned out pretty good!
Never try spheres for your first fondant attempt. HARD

It took awhile, but she did not disappoint for a great first birthday cake picture

Cute girl! Great cake! You did a beautiful job! Did you make your fondant or buy premade? I made a lego cake for Max last Jan. and frosted it. I probably should have used fondant.
