I whipped up this beauty of a cake. I expect a call from Buddy Valastro, the Cake Boss, any day now.
Hannah is still working on the one nap-two nap combo so she needed a nap at 5 pm the evening of her party. We had to wake her so she could have some cake. She wasn't sure what to think of all the birthday hoopla, especially fresh from a nap.
Hmm, what's this?
Part of the reason Hannah needed to be woken up for the cake was because this kid could not wait any longer for a piece of cake. I actually busted him with a fork in hand and a chair pushed over to the counter where the cake was waiting prior to waking the birthday girl up.
Hannah thought the cake was delicious and that her out-of-control brother was hilarious!
Poor girl didn't get to open many of her presents herself. Carter had to "help" her open them up because she's only a baby. Thankfully she didn't care and enjoyed tossing tissue paper around.
Hannah also had her one year check up. She clocked in at 21 lbs 9 oz (58%ile) and 30 inches (77%ile). The girl is slowing down! Unfortunately, we left the appointment with two referrals for Hannah and one for Carter. Hannah needs to see a dermatologist about a mole on her leg that has undergone some changes in the last month. She also had to be seen by a physical therapist for a case of torticollis. We have some exercises we are now doing and she seems to not have such a head tilt anymore.
Although sometimes a girl needs a rest from all that walking, even in the snowy driveway. (And you can obviously see the head tilt in this picture. Not sure how I didn't see it that much before?)
Just a few days after that snow fall, everyone was able to be out without snowpants on. Hannah even found a piece of chalk. Hilariously enough, she knows what to do with it and walks around making chicken scratches on the driveway!
This past Sunday was a relaxing day at home in which we give the kids a break from the gym and either alternate going or I take a day off from working out. These three were snuggled on the couch together with cartoons.
Ava was waiting for her waffle to pop up. And as you can see from this picture, one of the reasons I take a day off from the gym is to actually catch up around the house. It doesn't take long for a mess to appear around here with 6 people in the house!
And here is a picture of one of Ava's fashion creations as I mentioned in the last post. White sweater dress, black tutu skirt, navy blue tights, and pink dress-up shoes. Fashionista in the house! One postive from this picture is that her bangs are growing! They are almost normal bang-length now! The real question is: will they grow all the way back out by her birthday in October?! Only time will tell! (And we still keep Carter away from the scissors!)

Carter's referral is regarding a cyst under his right eye. This developed around Christmas time. I took him in to see a different pediatrician in January thinking it was a sty. She said it was a cyst and would go away on it's own. It has not gone anywhere and seems to fluctuate in size. I asked our regular pediatrician if she wanted to see him regarding the eye or if she could just give me a referral out. Due to the cyst's proximity to the eye, we have to see an opthamologist and it will likely require surgery to be removed. Yay! We were hoping to have a third year of some form of surgery for one of the kids!!
For Hannah's birthday, we got her some flexible, soft soled shoes. Success! She will walk in them. She cruises everywhere and is enjoying her freedom outdoors now.
