Birthday Numero Uno

Sophia's FIRST BIRTHDAY was February 6th!  It was a very exciting day around here!  Sophia was spoiled with the following:

1. A tiara to wear for the day
2. A wand to carry for the day
3. A walker from Mom & Dad
4. A dolly from G&G Simpson
5. A "Garden Activity Center" from G&G Wilson
6. TWO birthday cards from G&G Wilson (still not sure why they sent 2, but we aren't complaining)
7. An overstuffed cow named LouEllen
8. An adorable dress and bath toys from Janina
9. Lots of wrapping paper to rip off boxes
10. Lots of boxes to play with once gifts were opened...

And, of course, CAKE WITH FROSTING!  She thoroughly loved all of the above with the exception of the cake.  No big surprise there, given her behavior at most meals.

It's hard to believe she's already one-year-old! YIKES - where did the time go?  Some of the things I miss most about her babyhood are:

1. Late night feedings in the quiet, peaceful dark
2. Her quiver lip when she cried
3. Her ability to entertain herself for an hour just laying on a blanket

Unwrapping the dolly - the pics with the dolly were blurry, bummer!

She loves the walker!
