Happy Birthday!!!

Our baby is 1! Today began with waking her up and getting ready for pictures. We get there and first take our family pictures, get a few in her holiday outfit and then switch outfits to get her one year pictures. We got a few decent pictures before she decided she'd had enough and had a small melt down. I told the photographer to a get a few of her crying.

We then drove home (she had a small nap in the car), fed her lunch and... ice cream! She ate her first bite of sugar. She was confused about how cold it was but definitely like it (chocolate and brownie chunk) and then headed to Sam's Club to get some pictures printed. We also went out to lunch. We can back and Ava and I napped (we are both getting over the stomach flu from this weekend). We woke up and went over to Papa and Nana's. She received her first birthday gift (pajamas and a Dora phone). She loved the phone and the tissue paper. We came home and gave her presents from mom and dad. BOOKS! She loved them.

I cannot believe a whole year has flashed by. It's incredible. I'm not sure how to put it into words. What is our favorite thing about the past year? Jim's is becoming her hero when she isn't feeling well. Mine is probably when she calls my name when I'm not in the room. I also love how happy she makes everyone, especially my Papa, he really needs it.
