Wow! What a day!  Actually, what a weekend.  Anna got to eat, count 'em, 2 cakes.  One Saturday morning and then another one today.  Let's just say she wasn't shy about digging into either one.  You must check out the pictures.  We had several friends over for cake and ice cream.  It was a great party!!

 

It's hard to believe we are already celebrating her first birthday.  Just 9 days from now is the anniversary of the day I got "the phone call".  She is growing so fast and she is absolutely the most beautiful little girl.  She is losing that "baby" look and starting to look more and more like a little girl.

 

As far as milestones....

She has 8 teeth

She crawls everywhere

She is attempting to stand on her own and can manage it for about 2 seconds

She walks holding on to me or the furniture

She actually said "Uh-oh" today when she dropped a toy

She sometimes refers to me as "Mama"

She can sign "more", wave "bye-bye", and point to things she wants

Grandma and Grandpa got her to hold up the number 1

She'll roll a ball (or in her case a plastic egg) to you back and forth

 

As far as "mommyhood"... the only word I can think of is .... GREAT!  She is just so amazing to watch and I just can't get enough of her.  God is so good!!  Happy Birthday, Anna.  Mommy loves you TONS!!
