One year ago we came across this little blotched beauty at the new baby dealership. Oooh, shiny!
We needed her, we wanted her (although I’m pretty sure I said different as I suffered through an unmedicated, induced labor).
She filled a hole in our little family that we didn’t even know existed.
She’s gained a little bit of weight since then, put on a couple chins, sprouted a few extra hairs and developed quite an attitude. There’s more of her to love!
Her official b-day bash wasn’t on her birthday, but the kids wanted to make sure Rowan’s day was special. The decorating team got right to work the second Rowan fell asleep on her birthday eve. Do they look eager to you?
Brinley took on streamer duty…
…While Drew huffed, puffed, and blew till his cheeks ached and his eyes popped out. Serious!
They did a mighty fine job decorating.
Rowan woke up the next morning in a most curious mood. The streamers work as an excellent distraction while we change her diaper.
While Rowan wasn’t looking, the kids went back to work. Cupcakes were in order for her afternoon delight!
Oh the precision…
Oh the beauty! Stop licking your monitor!
Mmmm…cake, frosting. Sprinkles!
Happy Birthday Rowan!
Happy Birthday Rowan! Looks like she enjoyed her cupcake…..so so cute!
Yeah, for Rowan! Happy Birthday! You’re one of our favorite 1 year-olds in the whole wide world!
Wow that seems like it went by so fast, probably not for you! She is adorable, love the bow in her hair and the backdrop (quilt)- I think I have the same style as you also! 🙂 SO cute!
Dang it- I forgot to call for another birthday… my brain calendar has been completely off this year! SO, happy belated birthday to Rowan!
Love, Kira Rich and Melody!!!
