Her name was Lola...


My poor sweet baby. For her first birthday she got a fever. Not sure if she's sick or teething, or just transitioning from baby to toddler, but for the last two days she has been miserable.

 Regardless of her case of the icks, we plowed ahead with the cake and presents anyway. You only turn one once after all. Years from now she won't remember any of it. But, she'll have these pictures to document that we honored her on her special day.

 Our family could never be complete without our L-O-L-A. She's our comedian and our favorite lip magnet. Everyone wants to be the first to tell her good morning. When the big kids come into our room in the morning the first thing they usually ask (after announcing they want "lunch") is, "Is Lola awake?"

Dearest Lolly, happy happy birthday, my little fat pancake. This year has gone by faster than I could have ever believed. You were the absolute bright spot each of the 365 days since you came into our lives. We all love you so much.

Love that second pic, Lola looks so proud of herself, and so does her mommy! Did you make that crown?

My baby was sick on his first birthday too! What is it with these babies?! Do they not know we HAVE to celebrate these special days with family, fun, and pictures?! He was so miserable we ended up at an urgent care clinic. So for his first birthday, he received his first ear infection. A double ear infection at that.

Have I mentioned that I LOVE that you make them a crown for their birthdays? Can I copy that?! :-) Can't believe how fast time moves when you have kiddies. *sigh* Now, if only I can talk Joel into another one this summer.... You look beautiful too btw.
