Bentley's 1st Birthday

Our sweet, but sometimes sassy, little girl is 1!!! Such a fun and crazy year for all of us. She is loved even more than the day she arrived, especially by Radley!! Her brothers still just adore her, and she is becoming much more of a daddy's girl. She still likes me, but she really loves it when her daddy comes home. She always has to give him a hug when she sees him and lays her head on his shoulder. None of the boys ever did anything like that. She is learning to scream when she is not getting her way and tries to run away when she has something she shouldn't. She already bugs her brothers. She doesn't talk too much yet, but understands so much. She loves animals of all kinds, being outside, playing with babies, and eating. Much like her brothers she is very aware of her surroundings and will not sit still long enough to fall asleep unless she's in a bed or car seat. She is quite prissy and needs to toughen up, but it's getting better. She loves men and walks up to strangers hoping they'll pick her up. It kinda scares me, but she is perfectly content sitting on a man's lap she doesn't even know (however I know all of them, thankfully). She is the cutest little girl I have ever met, and she melts hearts everywhere she goes!!

Bentley had a great birthday and party.  She was a little overwhelmed at first with everyone crowding around her and singing, but she LOVED her cake and especially loved the ice cream (a girl after my own heart!).
Some of the crowd getting a little too close!
Starting to warm up to the cake.
Bentley's own personal cake!
Once she tasted it, there was no going back!  She really got into it.  Once I gave her the ice cream spoons, she didn't turn back.  She wanted more ice cream.
I tried so hard to get a picture of her with just the big #1 balloon (thanks Savanna & Kevin), but she was scared of it and wouldn't get close enough to it.  This was the best I could get.
I'm telling you, she likes ice cream!



Bentley opening up her new travel sized baby.



She really didn't know what to think about the singing, but then she got really nervous and started crying.  It was really sad!



Once Daddy picked her up she calmed down, she was able to start eating the cake.  



She then decided to share the cake with her daddy.



She finally got comfortable enough to eat in the highchair.  But here she is eating the ice cream.
