Happy Birthday to YOU!

Our dear baby AJ is one year old today. We can't believe how she has grown over the past year. Every day is a new adventure and we are so excited to be a part of it! It is hard to imagine what life was like before baby AJ entered it a year ago today. Her birthday was long and exhausting, but we wouldn't change a thing about it. It was certainly the happiest day of our lives! We can't wait for more exciting things to come. Here is what baby AJ (or shall I say, toddler AJ) is up to these days. AJ

• loves to play with her baby doll (she lights up every time she sees it!),
• cuddles, especially first thing in the morning when she wakes up,
• adores her Fuzzy-Silky (blanket), she tries to carry it with her everywhere,
• took 12 steps tonight (on her own!),
• enjoys standing on her own, but topples over when she realizes she is on her own,
• dances to music, she even shares my affinity toward boy bands (so says her dad),
• loves to read books, her personal favorites are any lift-the-flap books and Baby Faces,
• wants to play with any electronic device - computer, cell phone, regular phone, you name it!
• likes to eat bananas, applesauce and any kind of nugget,
• is our pride and joy!

Happy birthday, sweet baby!
