Baby's First Birthday

Dear Little Miss H,
Today was your first birthday. We celebrated, we laughed, and boy did you get spoiled! Your daddy and I wanted this day to be special. So here are some photos for you to look back on:

Once we were fueled up on birthday pancakes, we were out the door to Como Zoo...

You "pointed" at everything...

Daddy wanted this guy documented on the blog. (This was daddy's favorite animal...go figure.)

You even got your first taste of ice cream. You were not too sure at first, but then you liked it!

And lastly, a ride on the merry-go-round. You loved it all.

There was a whole lot of birthday celebrating going on this afternoon. But I stopped for a moment. Amongst the chaos of running around to make this day special…I stopped. Today is your birthday, but to your mama, today is the day that I gave birth to the most special little girl in my life. One year ago we had not the slightest clue what you would do to us.
Thank you for filling our heart with pride. Thank you for being such a beautiful, happy, healthy girl. Thank you for taking your daddy and I to a whole new level of love that we never knew existed.
We love you little munchkin. Happy birthday baby girl.
