She's 2 Years Old!!!

Johanna turned 2 years old on Thursday. We had her birthday party Friday night. She had Dora the Explorer decorations and a Dora cake. Guests were Grandma, Cousin Xaviera, Great Aunt and Uncle Stella and Willard, Uncle Lowell and Cousin Brooklen, and Cousins Jeremy, Ina, Chad and Kristina.

Johanna's First Birthday

Yesterday was Johanna's 1st birthday. We had about 20 friends and family over for a party. We had cake and ice cream, opened gifts, and had a pull-string pinata. I think Johanna had a great time.
Today we will a have smaller party with just the daycare kids in attendance. I will post pictures of it tomorrow.




Johanna did not understand why 20 people were standing around singing to her while she sat on the table. I love the look on her face!!

Eating cake. Johanna dug right in. When the frosting lifted off the cake in one piece, Johanna went right for the frosting.





Opening presents with friend Brynn.





Mommy got Johanna her first car for her first birthday. Hope she doesn't expect one when she turns 16.
Friends Desiree and Abigail push Johanna.

FFF - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

This is the very first picture I saw of Johanna. She is nine days old in this picture. I got her referral at 11 days. I cannot believe she will be 1 year old in FIVE DAYS!!!!

First One at Home

Today is Johanna's first "month" birthday at home. She is 9 months old. I held her in my arms for the very first time one month ago tomorrow. It has gone so quickly.

I can't believe how different she is from the baby I got a month ago. She had 3 teeth then and now has 5 and is working on another. She sits alone very well and plays on the floor for quite awhile all by herself. She is scooting on her tummy but only backwards still. She has gained about 1 pound.

I love her more every day and sometimes still can't believe she is actually here. She is a good baby and so precious.
