Happy Birthday Celeste!

Celeste turned 1 today!  Lilah says she is now a kid!  She is excited because now Celeste can play with her.  I think it's hilarious that Celeste is suddenly 'different' because she turned 1.  Calvin really wanted her to take her first steps on her birthday but she is still determined not to walk.  We work with her and she refuses to.  She'll walk next to us and hold one hand, but will not budge if you aren't holding on to her.  It's actually pretty funny.  She is getting more verbal (read screaming and squealing) playing with the kids more (taking their toys) and getting around more (climbing on more things, sliding down the stairs by herself).  She is a lot of fun.

We sang Happy Birthday to her a lot today - she sang with us!  She liked being the center of attention and hearing her name.  Her dad helped her pick steak, twice baked sweet potatoes, and green beans for dinner and I helped her pick chocolate fudge fantasy cake!  There are (or will soon be) some recipes from dinner on our food blog.  She didn't know what the candle was and didn't open her presents - but she loved the little baby doll and her new toy.

Mike took a lot of video but no pictures, warning some of the videos are long:

I can't believe she is one already. Happy Birthday Celeste and I'm glad your big sister finally thinks your old enough to play with.
