One Year Old!!

Happy First Birthday Dani!


The festivities started on Grandma's birthday, Friday November 4, when she came over and helped me bake cakes and make cake pops. Saturday we had pictures in the morning and dinner with some good friends which led into the family party Sunday. Monday was routine, and Tuesday we celebrate the birth of my special little girl, Dani.

The little girl who was less than 5 pounds at birth has grown so much. She's amazed me in ways I didn't think possible and has made me a profoundly happier person.

It was a year ago today that I lay awake in the hospital bed waiting to be induced. I had a bad backache, or what I thought was a bad backache, turns out that was labor! She was ready to get things started, so at 9:41 am, a mere hour after being induced she was here.

She had a small cake I made her for pictures and the poor girl got icing on her hands and was done. She doesn't like sticky stuff on her fingers, so you can imagine how that went. We were able to get some pictures in the tutu that I made her at least! She did really well at dinner and her party, which I wasn't expecting. This little girl is a trooper! She really seemed to enjoy her party Sunday, she had an audience to entertain! Thursday she goes to the doctor for her one year check up where we'll find out just how much she weighs and how tall she's become!

Thank you to all who have wished her a Happy Birthday! She's an amazing young lady and I can't imagine life without the little stinker!
