We celebrated Blakelyn's 1st Birthday at home with just family.
It's hard to believe that a whole year went by so fast, well the last 6 months at least.
The first 6 months were rough to say the least.
At 1 year Blakelyn loves music, balls, food, sleep, playing, babbling, and curiously exploring. She loves to be right by our side doing what we are doing. As I said that day "she came out not crying and has made up for it ever since!" and she sure has!! Love this babbling baby!!
With JJ and Pops!
with Aunt Lolly and Uncle Scotty.
The expression that really summed up the day!
What's going on?!
Always loves a playmate!
Ooh a baby!
kisses for cousins!
My Aunt Kathy came for a visit to help us celebrate!
All the Homlar's!
Our Family!
All the Novack's in attendance.
Laura and Andy were busily awaiting the arrival of their daughter, hence they were not there.
What it looked liked on the other side of the camera...
what it takes to get a baby to smile.
My brother and his family.
Playing with Uncle Scotty.
And Aunt Lolly.
Rob and Claire.
Mimi and Claire.

Present time.
Who wouldn't love a light up spiky blue ball?
Birthday Girl!
Banner of her first year month by month!
Autumn Balloons!
And the big moment...
I didn't get a video of us singing to her, bummer.
But apparently Blakelyn was looking around the room at everyone singing flapping her legs to the beat!
As I should have known, Blakelyn had no problem with devouring her cupcake!
Her party was owl themed!
Happy 1st Birthday Blakelyn Anne!!
Yes it takes two for cleanup!
