Happy birthday, baby girl!

| Fun at Grandma's house |
Last week Alexandra Jane had her first birthday, and on Sunday we had her birthday party. It's amazing how much your babies grow and change in just a year. When I remember my life before having a kid, it seems strange that I only had to think about myself. (I mean, I had to think about Ian too, but not to the same extent. He can feed himself, doesn't need naps, and doesn't try to stick his fingers in outlets or eat the bottoms of shoes.) It seems like a lot of things must have been easier, but were they as fun? I don't think so.
So, in memory of my girl's first year of life...

| Here she is as a newborn, sleeping on Grandma's chest. |

Even when she was just 3 months old, no one could make her smile like her Daddy.

| Six months old and modeling hand-knit leggings. |
 |
| At 9 months she took her first flight and was so well-behaved! |

| My big one-year-old |
Awesome! Also, the guy in the background of the flight picture looks like he's having a panic attack, or at least is just a major mouth-breather.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I totally didn't notice him before. I guess I just thought he looked cramped and uncomfortable like most people do on flights. :)
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are always glued to Alexandra. The days go slowly but the years go fast. She is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteIt is so true that even though things might have been "easier" pre-kids, life certainly wasn't as much fun!
