1st Birthday Party is in the Books

Kalea had her first birthday party today. She was a little confused about having so many people in her house, but she did her best to be a good host. Well, she was a good host until she saw someone trying to move in on her mommy. Our friend Adam was here with his grandma and grandpa, and Aja was just saying how much she missed having a little kid to hold, so she jumped on the chance to grab little 3 1/2 month old Adam. Everything was fine until Kalea caught an eyeful of another kid being held by her mom in her house. The birthday girl wasn't having it! She scurried her way to her momand grabbed hold of the bottom of her shirt in demand of being picked up - so Aja was forced to put the baby down and pick the little booga up. Kalea quickly shot a glance at Adam and pointed her finger at him to let him know who's mom that was, and they were back to being friends again. Although i caught a glance at the poor guy minutes afterwards and his face was saying that it wasn't his idea to be held by Aja at all, he wasn't looking for any trouble.
The party was a success though, and Kalea was blessed with a room full of people that love her. She seemed to enjoy opening gifts but wasn't to crazy about having to put something new that she just opened down to go to the next gift. Boxes and wrapping paper were a big hit. She is a cheap date at this point. Kalea also was introduced to the world of cake today. After a slow start of getting through the frosting on top, she dug in and made of mess of her little cake. Before you knew it she was elbow deep in a mix of different color frosting, yellow cake, and lemon filling. She had a blast hanging out for the rest of the time with friends and family - she even showed off a little with her walking skills. The little girl is growing fast and it's hard to keep up sometime. Nonetheless, we are haivng the best time following each footstep.
