Ashlynn's First Trip to the Pool

On July 7 we finally the weather finally warmed up and we were all healthy enough to take Ashlynn to the pool for the first time. She loves baths and water, so we suspected she would love the pool. She definitely did. Her cute little swimsuit was a gift from our friend Mindy. I love the crocheted suit and flower petal skirt.

Ashlynn's First Birthday

We celebrated Ashlynn's 1st birthday on Saturday June 27. It was a crazy busy day with her 1 year portraits taken that morning, then a party in the afternoon.

Ashlynn had a special birthday princess crown from some friends of ours, but she only consented to wear it for a very short time. At least we got some pictures before she pulled it off.

Balloons apparently tasted great. She kept trying to eat them.

The best part, at least for Ashlynn, appeared to be the cake, which I forgot to take pictures of before we let her dive in to it. Her first couple of bites were very tentative, as she kept looking at me to see if I was going to let it continue. When she realized we were not going to stop her she dove in wholeheartedly.
