Happy 1st Birthday, my girl! You've changed so much over the year, and I've loved getting to record you growing up to where you can eat half a cupcake all by yourself! You have added so much to our life from where we were before this day last year, and I love you so much more than I thought I could. Happy birthday!

You look so grown up now! I lit this photo to show the pretty color of your eyes, but hadn't realized that I'd be in the reflection. It's a fitting way to celebrate the official 365th day of this photo-a-day: a picture of you, with some of me too.

Lights are fun! They're bright, they swing, and the only way to reach them is on Dada's shoulders!

You've got strong legs and pretty good balance: it seems like the only thing holding you back from walking now is that it seems so much more secure with mama there to help. But even when you learn how to do it on your own, we'll always be behind you.

Ever since your first tooth, you've liked having someone brushing it. Now you've gotten to the point where you do most of the brushing yourself. Not a bad habit to build!
