It was so much fun planning the party, making the decorations and the invites and the cake. It was a little overwhelming preparing for my daughter's one year birthday when it seems like she was just born. She has changed so much in the last year...as have our entire lives. Every day she changes...she is walking a little more balanced, pointing out more body parts (so far she knows belly button, head, foot and nose-we are working on bum). She is eating pretty much all grown up food now, loves to swim and go on walks with the pugs. She has come so far...it is really amazing to see her little curious face continue to learn everyday. And I have learned, because of her, just what it means to love completely and unconditionally. Who knew your heart could have so much room in it?
Ok...enough sappiness...here are some pics from the party! Thank you to all of those that attended (especially Aunty Jen Rogers who flew all the way here from AZ just for the party)! It was so special to have friends and family here to share her special day!
