We went in together in the morning to wake the birthday girl up. Austen is so cute early in the morning...you walk in when she's asleep, and she bolts upright and is immediately happy, even with her eyes half closed. :-)
Austen got an "Anywhere Chair" for her first birthday, just like big sister. That chair has turned out to be one of Kaitlyn's favorite things, so Austen needed one, too (right??).
Grammie and Papa got Austen her own suitcase. You guessed it, Kaitlyn got the same one, but in purple, for her first bday. It's been the perfect little suitcase for traveling, so this was actually my request so that both girls would have one. ;-) (Although, I think Grammie was already thinking along those lines...) Thank you!
Kaitlyn got a gift, too. She's been using the magnets from her Magnadoodle to listen to everyone's hearbeats, so she got a stethoscope, along with a whole doctor kit. She now gives everyone shots, too. :-)
Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Roger got Austen her very own baby doll (aka: Not Kaitlyn's baby). What a great idea - we now emphasize that this is Austen's baby, so that she gets to play with it. Her face when she first got to hug her new doll was priceless...she was SO excited. Didn't catch it on camera, of course! Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa Chouinard!
Confetti cupcakes, what else?
Happy birthday to you...
Really dainty at first:
Then realized that, with those cheeks, she wasn't fooling anyone and may as well dig in!
Oh, and I was mistaken yet again on the tooth count. There was a left, upper molar popping through by Austen's first birthday. The final count, I believe, was 12 teeth by her first birthday - 4 being molars. Holy moly!
