Big Girl

Lila celebrated her 1st birthday on January 5th. It's still hard for us to believe a whole year has passed since the day she was born. We have so many memories - many of them captured on this blog - it's hard to imagine it all occurred in the last 12 months.

This photo was taken of Lila within the first 72 hours of being born. As you can see - she's all grown up. Our hearts are filled with love for Lila. She's the best thing to happen to us.

So, we had a little party for the birthday girl. The weather was terrible but everyone showed up and we had a great time! Lila was in heaven with all the little kids to play with. Both Grandma's were here to celebrate with her so she felt very special.
Singing Happy Birthday... She wasn't too sure what the fuss was all about.

Alex helped Lila open her gifts.

Alex opened the gifts. Lila played with them. Perfect.

Hurrah! This toy is awesome man!

Party is over. PJ's are on. Time to kick the toys around.

Lila started walking almost immediately after receiving this gift.

Lila loves it when GG chases her.

GG loves her little grandbaby. What a great birthday!
