Baby Girl is 1!

My sweet Baby Girl turned 1 today. She is a ray of sunshine in our lives. She wakes up happy everyday and has a very sweet disposition. However, she also has a steely determination that I admire. She is now saying uh-oh, mama, dada, bye-bye, and no-no (whenever I tell her no). She is waving bye-bye and pointing at things. She isn't walking, but is crawling and cruising. She loves watching Elmo and really likes balls (she likes to throw them across the playroom and then go crawling after them). She's finally growing a little hair - she's getting some curls in the back. And she is by no means a little thing - she's over 25lbs and wears size 24 months in most of her clothes. She is most definitely my Sweet Caroline.

Here are some pictures from her birthday today!

Unwrapping her presents...








































Her cake...































She basically just played with it. She wasn't very interested in eating it.
























And then she decided she didn't like being messy and that it was time for her bath.
