Happy birthday to you!

Hey my little sunshine girl.  You turned ONE!  We had abirthday party for you and now you love that song.  Everytime youhear someone singing Happy Birthday, you start to dance and smile likecrazy.  I think you think it belongs to you.   Lolo and Lola came down to visit for your birthday.  Ekko andMommy made you chocolate cupcakes.  They were a big hit. Auntie Kerry came the actual day of your birthday and we went out forpho for supper.  My noodle loving child!  Daddy thought thatmight be a great place for you.  You and Ekko sure love Asianfood.  Then we had the party on the Friday night.  Alana,Emma, Uncle Steve, Auntie Hiroko, Uncle Aldo, Auntie Becky, Marion,Muriel Luxton, and our basement tenants from Britain came.  Webought you a sand and water table for your present.  Every daysince then you girls have played in it.  What a good investment.

You also took your first steps the night of your birthday party. Now you occassionally take a step here and there but you love to crawlstill.  You also love to walk if you can hold somebody's hand.

I can't believe my baby is a year old.  It meant that I had tostart back to work.  That is hard to do as Mommy misses yousomething fierce.  You are the most precious little gift.  Iadore you my love. – Mommy
