It is so hard to believe that a year has gone by since the birth of our baby!She went from this
(4 lbs. 9 Oz. 18" long)
to
(17 lbs. 29" long)This!!
I have had a strict rule this past year which is the Baby cannot have any sugar such as sweets, deserts, etc. until one year. I think we have done pretty good except once when she was given a cookie by her friend Abbi and took a bite before we noticed and another when she was chewing on a kit kat and broke through the package and got a small bite. So since Jared was gone for this special day he demanded that I not give Kai any sugar such as Birthday Cake until he gets home. I decided that a girl can't have a first birthday without some sort of cake so pancakes is what she got!
I think she was a fan of her special Birthday treat!

Time for presents:
Kai checking out her present from Mom and Dad
(Sweet Deal off Craigslist $5, you gotta love craigslist)
Checking out her Birthday card from Grandma and Grandpa Theler,
making sure it tastes good!
Showing off new doll from Papa and Grammy Gardner
Thanks for the gifts Grandparents!!
Although it seems like she had a Happy Birthday it was really a tough day for her! She had her 1 year appointment and the poor thing got 5 immunizations and then had to get her blood drawn. She cried harder then she ever has and then was pretty clingy the rest of the day! She is of course small on the charts only 3rd % for her weight, 10 % for her head and a whopping 60% for her height! But don't feel too bad for her, she will be getting 2 Birthday parties. One in Utah with all the family and one with her buddy Brinley to follow the Hawaiian tradition of having a big first birthday! She will be getting lots of cake and it is definitely well deserved!
We have enjoyed this past year with our sweet baby! I don't think Jared or I have ever experienced so much Joy!
Happy Happy Birthday Kai Kai!! We love you!!
A Birthday letter to Kailie from her Daddy!
Dear Kai,
So, you are now officially 1 year old! It's been a long time coming, but think of all the things you've learned to do:
Drool
Suck on things (some attached to mom....and some not)
Eat Puffs
Smile (with and without teeth)
Snuggle (rarely)
Take Naps
Poop, pee (sometimes on dad and mom)
Laugh
Cry
Bath
Crawl
Walk!!!!
Sit up, Stand
Crawl off the beanbag
Crawl on the beanbag
Eat Sand
Eat Peas, pears, carrots, applesauce etc
Impersonate Klingons and Mr Burns
You seem to do new things all the time. I really wish I could have been there for your first b-day, but dad had to be in a tiny pacific island fixing peoples ears and helping them to hear. They are really poor and we can do a lot of good things. I promise I'll be there for your next one and get home as soon as I can. Tell your mom I really miss her and wish I could be with you both!
Love,
Dad

Happy Birthday, Kailie. And great job on the walking. The fun is about to start.
I can't believe how fast her year has gone by! What a joy she is not to only you two, but all who meet her. Her smile lights up any room and we love we were able to be around to see her grow thus far! Happy Happy Birthday Kai!!!!
Happy Birthday to Kai! It goes by so fast - I still remember how small she was when we first got here! She's adorable! Good for you for not giving in on the sugar- it will be fun to hear how well she likes the cake!!!!!
What a cutie! I love the face she made over the pancakes. I did the no sugar thing for Abi and Everett. Zachary HATED sugar, and still doesn't care for it too much. Eliza, well, she's the 4th child, and so she's gotten more sugar than the rest of them, but only small tastes. I look forward to seeing the mess they make with their birthday cakes!
Hey Gina! I'm so excited I found your blog today. Your little girl is darling! Happy Birthday to her. So fun!
Happy Birthday to our Kai! It is so hard to believe how much you have grown, but you are still a little peanut who we love!
