Amaya's Birthday

I've been so busy that I haven't had time to post about Amaya's Birthday! I can't believe my baby turned one on September 12!

We had a really nice time. On the 11th we rented a hotel room right on the beach. It was a 2 room suite with an ocean view. We tried to go to the beach that night but it was really windy and a little chilly. Amaya is terrified of the waves. I couldn't get her to even look at the water. We then took a little walk and got something to eat. Later that night we all got in the huge jacuzzi that was in the room. She really liked that! She fell asleep with the balcony open so she could hear the waves crashing on the beach. I had a hard time sleeping because I was thinking about how I was in labor just a year ago. It made me really sad!

The morning started out with a beautiful sunrise. There is nothing prettier than a sunrise on the beach! Amaya woke up so happy. She got to open some presents and then we ate breakfast on the beach. At 10:11am we sang Happy Birthday to her. Again I got emotional.

We left the beach and went to Chuck E. Cheese. Amaya loved it there. She played games with her daddy to win some tickets. She ate almost a whole piece of pizza and she was drinking out of a big kids cup with a straw. Her favorite part was when Chuck E. came out to dance. I think she is going to be musically inclined because she loves music and dancing.

We went home for the last part of her Birthday. We didn't have a party because all of our friends and family live 1,200 miles away or further. She opened the rest of her presents and ate some birthday cake. She got a whole bunch of good stuff! We had her highchair close to the couch so Sugar could get in on the cake pictures. It was so cute seeing those two eat cake together.

All in all it was a great day. She didn't have a party like the rest of the babies in the world but it was a very special day. I am so proud to have such an amazing one year old!

I will post some pics later.
