Riana is ONE!

Happy First Birthday to the best baby girl in the whole world!  Riana turned one on March 9th.  The week leading up to her birthday was interesting, she ended up having to go to the doctor on Monday because she had an ear infection.  She was put on antibiotics and we kept her home from daycare all week hoping that she would feel better in time for her birthday.  On Friday I had scheduled the day off so that we could spend it together. 

When we woke up Friday morning Riana was in the sweetest best mood! We had a good time hanging out and playing before we had to get ready and start our day.  The first thing we got to do was go to the hospital to visit our new friend Baby Addison who was born the day before!  Riana was really sweet to her at the hospital and we had a good time!

After we left the hospital we went to Sears to have Riana's picture taken for her 1st birthday.  They turned out super cute and it was really really hard not to spend lots of money buying them!!!  When we were finished taking pictures we went and had lunch with Josh at his work.  Poor Riana was walking around talking to everyone and got a little excited and started running down the hall and fell at busted her cheek on the wall, it got really swollen and I really thought she was going to have a bruise the next day but LUCKILY it went away.

After we left Josh's work we had to go to Lowell to get Riana's birthday cake at Splat.  While we waited she got to sit at a tiny table and play with Legos and color.  Then it was time to go home! We went to dinner with Granna, Uncle Trey and Aunt Liz that night and then it was time for bed so we could ger ready for the party!!!!

Saturday we got ready for Riana's party, I was so glad she was feeling better and was in a great mood! We had a lot of fun, so many of our friends and family came over to help us celebrate Riana's first birthday.  I really felt blessed to know so many people love our little girl! She is so special!

We went to the doctor today (Monday March 12th) for her 1 year check up, she had to get her finger pricked and three shots!!! It was sad! I was so proud of her when she got her finger pricked she did not even cry at all even when they squeezed it to get the blood onto the tests.  Of course she did cry when she got her shots but only for a minute or two.  The doctor said she was a very smart one year old and we were doing a good job! She weighs 20 lbs and is in the 45th percentile for weight and is 30 inches long and is the 80th percentile for height. So glad to have a healthy baby girl!
