Aubrey turned One!!

My niece Aubrey, the kids first girl cousin, turned one last weekend. (Her birthday is on 9-10-11, which means I will never forget it!) Michelle and Chris had a party for her at their house.  There was a little bit of rain, but nothing a big party tent couldn't handle!  We had fun!  The kids ran around like wild animals, playing with all the other kids that were there.  Chris's dad brought a vintage ride on boat, one that you would have found outside of a grocery store, for the kids to ride.  They loved it!  Oh, and the food was great, cupcakes especially!  

I really can't believe Aubrey is one already!  That seemed to fly, faster then the first year of my kids lives!  So, from your Auntie, happy birthday, baby girl!  Your growing up way to quickly!  Slow down, just for a little while, so your mommy and daddy can breath for a minute and take in your sweet baby-ness.  Because not to long from now, you won't be little anymore!  You will be walking and talking and feeding your self.  Soon, you won't want all the help that your parents are so willing to give you now.  Your hugs will be less frequent, your kisses more scarce.  And one day, your Mommy and Daddy will stop and wonder, "How did this happen?? Wasn't she a baby just a few days ago?"  So, Aubrey, just slow down, every now and then.  Mommy and Daddy are busy keeping up with you, so when you can, just give them a few extra hugs, cuddle a little longer and let them believe you are still a baby, even if you aren't.  They will appreciate it!  Thanks, love :)
