Brinley turns one

We all knew it would happen one day...and the day is here.  Brinley Mae is one today!  Brinley had a pink polka-dot party, great company, great cake, and great presents.  Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes, and thank you for love you have given our little Mae over the past year.  We might have taken just a few photos of the day....here are some of our favorites!

Brinley's mini cake

So far, Brinley has only eaten meat, fruits, grains and vegetables--
although she did have some lasagna the other night--which sounds normal,
except she only eats these foods in isolation.  This was her first experience
with this type of sugar.  I'm excited to let my guard down and let her
eat whatever I eat now (guess I need to start eating healthy!).

Brinley didn't like the cake...she didn't really even want it on her tray :(.
She did ask for some cheerios though.

Inside of the cake!

After opening her presents, it was tough to pin her down for a photo!
Here Brinley is with Mimi!

Grandmother joined the party too!

What a fantastic day!  So excited that we've only had ONE year with Brinley and it was amazing.  Can't wait to see what fun all the other years will bring!  Love you baby!
