Elie's Birthday Barn Bash - 01.19.08

Well guys I know you've all been on pins and needles waiting for this video to be released so here it is. I wish each and every one of you could have been here for Elie's very special very first birthday. The birthday girl was a bit under the weather...well alot under the weather but she perked right up when her guests arrived, especially her fun cousins Lucy and Max.

Mommy was especially thankful for her friend Pam who helped bake the homemade birthday cake and birthday cookies. We served North Carolina pulled pork sandwiches, slaw and sweet potato fries with homemade birthday cake and homemade mint chip ice cream.

Unfortunately, Saturday night was a bit hard for Elie. She ran fever all night and I'm sure couldn't sleep because mommy was taking her temperature every 15 minutes. We went to the doctor on Sunday morning and after a breathing treatment and some chest Xrays determined that we were lucky enough not to have anything more serious than a very bad ear infection.

The last shot of the video is how we spent the bulk of Sunday...curled up and snuggling until the medicine kicked in. Monday Elie stayed home with mommy and we watched Baby Einstein videos (thank you Auntie G) all day...yes all day. You haven't lived until you have watched Neighborhood Animals (twice), Baby MacDonald, World Animals, Baby Mozart and Baby Neptune all in one day.

Thankfully Elie is back to her old self and according to her one year check up on Thursday still in the 90th percentile in height and 80th percentile in weight.

She is attending her first KU basketball game tomorrow with her Daddy so watch the blog for highlites...I think he is a brave man.
