Well, I am finally getting around to posting some pictures of Mae's BIG celebration we had for her 1st birthday (k, well it wasn't really that big) and her actual b-day! We had her party at a park in Kaysville and had sooo many WONDERFUL family and friends show up! At first Mae was a little confused at all the people there watching her (and the get-up we dressed her in), but soon she warmed right up and ripped right into those presents---she made a killing...and doesn't need ANY of it!!! Thanks everyone!!!! We have the BEST family and friends...and I mean that!
The cake Gpa Frankie made for Mae---almost as cute as the real thing! When we first put her in front of it, she was a little shy (heck, she was sitting there almost naked for the whole world to see) but once she tasted the frosting, she warmed right up and in true Coonradt-form DUG in!!! She LOVED it!!! She was a sticky MESS by the end of it and made sure her mom was too!!!
Giving the cake kisses...I told you she LOVED it!!!
My super-rific friends!!! Thanks so much for coming you guys!!! I ADORE YOU!!!
After the party, some of our family all headed down to the zoo, hey we had to make a DAY of it! On the way down to good ol' SLC, Mae was definitely feeling the effects of her sugar rush!!! We don't give Mae sugar very often at all and she was flying high from the record amount she had just ingested!!! I don't have any pictures of this, I thought about it too late, but she was a MAD woman in the car! Squealing and squawking and laughing the WHOLE way...She definitely kept us entertained! When we got to the zoo, we didn't really know what to expect from Mae. I thought she'd probably look around for a minute, but lose interest and take a nap in her stroller not long after we got there! Well, she was MESMERIZED by all the animals! She wouldn't stay in her stroller she was sooo excited!!!! And let me tell you, she is WAY to heavy to carry around for 2+ hours, so we all had to take turns carrying the birthday girl!!! She kept gasping and those big eyes got bigger at every animal we went to see!....Her favorite were the monkeys (big surprise) and luckily, they were in no short supply at the Hogle! She kept reaching out trying to touch everything...it was soooo cute!
Finally after being at the zoo for about 2&1/2 hours and after we had seen EVERYTHING, Mae finally gave in and crashed!!! We had a GREAT day with our little birthday girl! Thanks everyone!!!
On her actual birthday, Mae woke up with a fever and a cold...bummer, especially on her birthday! We had a very chill evening where she opened the few presents we had gotten her. You can tell from the pics she doesn't feel very good, but she was a good sport for her mom and dad!
She is still a SHE!!!
Leg and footsy!
Cute little girl with her hands on top of her head, just chillin'!!!
She is too cute and I know you all agree with me!!! At first we weren't really sure if she looked like Mae in these pics or not, but the more I look, the more I think they are going to look quite a bit alike, especially when I looked at some early pics of Mae! It will be fun to really see! Can't wait til September!!! Pregnancy is rough on the impatient!!!
