Newberger News: Erin's 1st birthday

Erin Nicole

1 Year old

( mommy speaking ) I can't believe a year has gone by already. Our youngest is 1 already. Where does the time go? I am lucky to be at home with her an watch her do her thing. The rolling over, the crawling, the standing up and eventually the walking. I caught Erin yesterday trying to stand up by herslef. She got up on her hands and kness and then into a bear crawling position and then lifted her hands up off of the floor and then she fell on her bottom. But it was so cute to watch.

How Kathryn and Erin interact. Kathryn teases Erin and takes things away from her and Erin growls or cries depending on time of day ( tired time). They also hug each other and play with each other but it is when Kathryn chooses too. I know there is a difference in years but I think once Erin starts walking Kathryn will be more interested in her. I told Kathryn abought Erin's birthday coming up and she asks me : "Then can she walk?" It's moments like these that keep you gowing when the big one won't stop bothering the little one and making her cry.

Erin had an eventful birthday party. She loved all of her gifts and had lots of fun. She especially loved the cake.

This is the after picture. Look below for the before pitures. I just had to show this first so you can guess how it happened.

Erin: " I want this piece right here. You don't mind if I just take it now do you?"

Erin is wondering what's happening. She'll know soon enough. Look at next photo.

Erin shocked ! "Wow ! Are those for me!"

"What is this stuff?" She played with the ribbon for a few minutes before we could unwrap the gift. I wonder why we buy them gifts sometimes when they are always more amused with the boxed, bows, ribbon and wrapping paer. We should just wrap them in brown paper and that's all.

Erin was saying "OOOOOOO" "OOOOOO" and pointing and hitting the box. How cute !

Another "OOOOOOO" moment

We wanted to say thank you to uncle Dale for the Target gift card. We got Erin a play purse and a lady bug ball spinnner. She loves them both. Thank you Uncle Dale !
