July thru September 4, 2010 First Birthday Party

Elle ran out to shop once we got the news: it's a boy! She wanted to get him this shirt so he was sure to know that he is the "little" brother.... and she is in charge. We've had a great few months and celebrated Elle's First Birthday this weekend. Cannot believe our little lady is one year! We had a wonderful pink first birthday princess party with dozens of pink balloons, cupcakes and tulle! Quite a sight. Thanks, Doug for letting me go crazy :) with the pink decor. We have had some fun beach days, lots of pool time and tons of developments. Elle started walking at 9 months so now at the tender age of 12 months she is running (constantly) and insists she must "walk, walk, mama, walk"! Trips to the store take much longer now, but its so fun. We are prepping for little Ryder Pedersen due December 15th and think we'll probably get a little doll and start calling it Ryder and having Elle be gentle with the doll.... 15 months apart.... we are crazy, and excited!!

XOXO, Doug, Erin, Elle (& Ryder - 25 weeks along)
