Happy FIRST Birthday Baby!!!



What a great week for our little princess, her very first birthday - Hooray!!! Grandma Penny came to visit for a whole week and helped us plan a fun little party for Ella with her baby playgroup, it was fabulous! Check out all the partygoers in their cool birthday hats (except for Ella, she of course refused to wear a hat in the spirit of "It's MY party, and I'll cry if I want to")...



Despite the hat-wearing, Ella had a great time with all her baby friends, and as the oldest in the group she showed off some truly impressive cupcake eating skills - she started with some dainty licking of the icing and moved quickly onto cupcake smashing, yum...



She is showing off in so many other ways too, taking more and more steps each day and officially using her first words, "baby", "daddy", and occasionally "mommy". She is just so much fun and we can't imagine our life without her - thanks baby for a wonderful year, we're lovin' every minute of you!
