Big girl

So this goes to show you how tall Mariam is. She just turned 18 months and her cousin here is 2 years old. They are basically the same height. Last doctor appointment Mariam was in the 99 percentile for her height. Wow!

Ironically her cousin's name is Nabeelah. 

Nabeelah and Nabeelah! 

It was my Birthday. Yaaaah

So it was July 4th, my birthday. I just hung out with the kids and my husband relaxing. We BBQ'd, ate some good food and sat under the AC!!! Nothing better than a day off of work. Wish it was more often for sure. 

The official Birthday Party

Here are a few pics of the official birthday party. It was simple and cute. The kids enjoyed coloring, face painting and balloon shapes/animals. They ate chicken nuggets, sweet potato fries and apple sauce. They also had pink lemonade and cupcakes. Mariam got some cute toys and a few outfits. Mom and dad got her some new earrings. She made a grande entrance to the party in her stroller ASLEEP!! She slept for at least 45 minutes. But once she was up and running I think she had a blast. I had fun and I hope all the little people did too. Best of all we enjoyed the day with family and friends. All in all it was a good day.

Look who turned 1!!!!

Even though I know they won't remember I'm big on first birthday. So today was the BIG day. There are always pictures to remember the special moments. I remember a year ago when I first started feeling the contractions and I realized they were real and this was it! It's amazing how time flies. Today was officially Mariam's first birthday so I dressed her up, made cupcakes and took lots of pictures. But the real party is next weekend; which of course I will share pics. Here was my little princess today.
