It took a few minutes to figure out what this little teddy bear was, but once she did, well the picture says it all!


She walked too fast for me to get the picture of the Elmo box, but she was pretty excited, as you can see below.




Adria had her first birthday on the 7th. It was exciting yet a little emotional that my baby isn't a baby anymore, of course I'll still call her 'baby' or 'schnookie' until she is thirty or older!
She had a great day. Cole on the other hand didn't like the whole idea of baby sister getting the attention. He helped her eat her little teddy bear cake and open the presents. The pinnacle of Adria's day was, by far, opening up her new Elmo. We didn't even know that she liked him until about a week or two ago when she finally warmed up to tickle-me-Elmo. Before that she was terrified of the little monster, now she is smitten! All of the other presents have more or less been taken over by her brother, what are you going to do?
