It's come and gone. Our baby has had her first birthday!
A few years ago the children's clothing line, Carter's had a line of baby clothes with a tagline of "just one year." I remember thinking that was kinda dumb because kids are kids for so long. But as with most things I thought at one point were dumb...I now 'get it'.
It's just one year that you can cuddle her. Just one year for her to be the little baby. From here on out she'll continue to reach milestones and grow into a little girl and young lady, but I will always cherish her just one year of being the best baby girl she could have possibly been. Thank you Lauren... for an amazing year.
In her first year she's lived in Lake Mary, Gainesville, LONDON!, and back to Lake Mary, traveled across the Atlantic (twice!), taken the Chunnel, walked across the Prime Meridian, & visited Holland. The poor thing has slept in her pack-n-play for more of her life than her crib!
Little L is doing great! She's growing as she should, loves facing forward in her car seat and is glad she can more easily keep up with her big sisters. Jason and I were trying to decide how to celebrate her birthday and I asked him what does she REALLY like and that would be our theme. He responded, "She really likes you, her mom, should we have a Jeni themed party?!" We settled for the zoo since she also loves animals. Of course it poured all over our zoo plans so we have a raincheck to actually see the animals.
N helping with the cake...
The birthday girl!
Not too interested in opening gifts.
But thought they were cool once she saw them in action.
Loved the balloons.

A monkey cake for our little monkey.
"No hat please."
"Wow...really...all mine?!"
"Ok...this is pretty good."
"Yeah, I like this!"
Really digging in now.
"This was so good and so fun!"
Cleaning up :)
The next day she still enjoyed the balloons...Here are her 1st year photos...
