wow. it has been so long since i have blogged!!
thanksgiving is on thursday!! sooo excited!!
lia's party is coming along, slowly but surely. i still have so much to do!! i wish i could finish everything now, but unfortunately, pretty much everything i have left to do, has to be done the week of the party!!!
so her cupcakes... i decided to go with a great white cake and fill it with an amazing lemon mousse, and top with creme chantilly (glorified whipped cream, but a little thicker and more sturdy).
now i know it sounds a little too sophisticated for a first birthday party.. but it fits perfectly with the theme and lia deserves everything to be at its best on her birthday.
plus everyone will die when they taste them. i'll have plain ones without the mousse just for those that don't want them. :)  
i really am going pretty out there for her party..
although she really won't know about what is going on, i really want her to be able to look back and say that her first birthday was amazing. :)
i have a great photographer coming to take pictures of the entire event. (yes.. her birthday will always be an event)
i'm making all of the food. but everything is really simple, kid-friendly things.
i really just cannot wait.

soo... update on lia.
lia has six teeth. yes. they are simply adorable!! her top teeth came in before halloween and the second top teeth just broke through last week. well, her two front teeth look so big on her. she looks like a little "who". i love it!!
we all know she has been standing and taking steps forever!! well, even though she has been taking steps by herself, i'm not going to yell out, "she's walking!!" but.... LIA IS WALKING!! she walked across the room last night!! she still prefers to crawl, but she's figuring it all out!! we bribed her with ice cream since she is so stubborn!! hahaha
lia can say about 10 words. she's pretty average when it comes to her mobility but man, that girl picks up on everything. she can say a new word every couple of weeks to a month or so. she can find anything that you hide. when it comes to brain power... wow. she has it all.
her tantrums... well... not any better. kicking, headbutting, fake crying. she's such a drama queen!! she's a girl for sure. i can't expect anything less!!
tomorrow she will be 11 months. seriously... the months are going by faster and faster.
before you know it, christmas will be here and robbie and i will be spending the day with lia. man.. she is going to love it!!! we are going to have one hell of a time with trying to keep lia from making the tree fall down, but we'll work on that!! she is going to love opening all of her presents! robbie and i haven't started shopping yet, but she is going to have a huge holiday!!
the coming weeks will be absolutely amazing!!!

lia's birthday invitation.. don't worry.. they are getting mailed today!! (blurred out addresses and numbers, of course!! :)

yes. i love this tush.

you say smile she poses :) i can't handle it!!
