Happy 1st Birthday Lily!

I couldn't believe Lily's 1st birthday came so quickly! It took 3 long years of waiting before we were able to hold her in our arms and now she was turning 1! (I blogged about my struggle here!)

For her actual birthday day, it was just the four of us. I made her a cake and sang "Happy Birthday." She got to open one of her presents that evening.


We found out she doesn't like fire! 
It took her a bit before she thought it was funny to play in it. She didn't really care to eat any though.


Oh the faces she makes. :)

After a bath she opened her present...

...with help from Isaias. :)



Her party was just a few days later. We invited some of Erik's family and some of mine. I had fun making her first tutu for it! I know it's not everybody's style or taste, but, guess what? It's OK!!! :)
Here are a few pictures from her party!


Her adorable hat Grandma Janet and Grandpa Quico got her!

Since she cried after we lit her candle, we just set her on the table to make a mess!



I kept it simple this year. I would have liked to have made a Lily for each cupcake, but I'd never done it and didn't feel like getting frustrated.

Here are Lily's 1st birthday pictures!




I can look at her expressions and just hear the sound she is making in my head!




Here was a recent one I couldn't resist adding!
