Happy First Birthday Party Little Adelaide!

We had a birthday party yesterday for Addie. We were going to have it on the tenth but Charles teaches almost the whole day so we decided to move it to Wednesday so he could attend. We invited three of her friends and their siblings over for cupcakes.

Addie and her friends: Ellie, Dylan, Addie and Keziah

Addie being sung to:

And Adelaide after her cupcake:

We are sorry we were not able to invite our friends and family in America and other far places but we do invite you to play a game with us! Yesterday we played the infamous game of weighing the baby and seeing how much they weigh on their first birthday. For those family members and friends who want to play I will let you wager your guess now. You have until close of play today. I will announce her weight tomorrow. Just for reference, she started at 7 lbs 8 ozs. What do you think? How much a year later?

KLL said...: Oops, sorry the first post. I'll join in, though I have no idea how much a 1 year old normally weighs...I'll follow Mama Julie's lead and say 25. (We're doing lbs here, not kilos, right? I don't even know what they use in the UK, but I'm continually confused over here in Deutschland... :) ) Happy Birthday Sweet Addie!!; 10 February 2011 at 14:57
Rebekah said...: Thank goodness for big brothers to help blow out candles!

And my guess is 23 lbs.; 10 February 2011 at 18:38
Karen said...: I'm going with 22 lbs, I think she looks a wee bit smaller than her big brothers. Happy Birthday Addie!; 10 February 2011 at 19:35
Jill Hardin said...: Happy birthday Addie! You are a doll! And I bet you weigh about 16 pounds.; 10 February 2011 at 19:50
Mrs. Thumb Up said...: Addie's grandad - Mr. Thumb Up's Father is technically challenged and thus is asking Mrs. Thumb Up to communicate for him. He would like to wager a guess of '22 lbs (or kilos) - whichever is closer'! Those are his exact words! :); 10 February 2011 at 20:24
Monette said...: I'm going to say 21.5 lbs. Happy, happy birthday Addie! We wish we were there. We love you!; 11 February 2011 at 02:41

One Thumb Up One Foot Down!

About the name

During these early years of parenting, I feel that I am constantly giving my sons and daughter encouragement to try something new and then immediately turning around and telling them to stop doing something else. This 'One Thumb Up, One Foot Down' approach of life isn't that far from how my own life feels at times - movements forward and backwards, highs and lows - and this blog is my attempt to share some of these moments with you. I invite you to join me on the ride as often as you can...

This blog is designed to be our family scrapbook. We don't want to bore you and make you flip through a book every time you visit us, but we do invite you to visit here any time you like.
