August 14, Lexie turned 1 year old! She went to the Dr. a few days later and here are her 1 Year Stats:
Weight: 20 lbs 6 oz (38%)
Height: 30 1/2 in (89%)
Head 18 1/4 in (84%)
So she's still tall and skinny, very cute, and extremely healthy. The Dr. was impressed by her vocabulary thus far, especially being able to put more than one word together like her favorite phrase "all done" which she demonstrated more than once at the Dr. office.
For her birthday we decided to go to my parent's house for the party to make it easier on them, and we were headed to the Grand Canyon the next day and leaving Lexie there so it worked out perfect. Lexie had a great birthday! We had a fun party with Grandma & Grandpa Hoyt, some of her aunts and uncles, and Great Grandpa and Grandma Mickelson also came over for the big event. We ate pizza and visited, sang happy birthday, ate cake and ice cream, watched a video of pictures and videos of Lexie's first year, and opened presents. The theme kind of turned into "Winnie the Pooh" with him on the cake, the birthday girl outfit, and she got a stuffed Pooh Bear.
Here are many photos from the big birthday bash:

The cake. Not great, but a good first attempt for me I suppose.
Eating the cake...dainty at first then getting messy.
Video taken at the party of the singing, eating of the cake and you can hear her say her favorite saying "all done", then watch her dance as she watches her 1 year memory video.
Opening presents!

I can't believe my baby is now a year old! She is such a fun kid to have around and I look forward to watching her continue to grow in years to come. After all the work I put into her birthday and party I'm glad it all went ok and everyone seemed to have fun, including the birthday girl! I'm glad we have pictures and video for her to remember the big day - her #1 Birthday!
