One!

My little baby is one today...I feel like I'm not ready for it to happen. Where did the year go? There are so many things I want to hold on to-
Like meeting her for the very first time:

Bringing her home from the hospital....probably the scariest drive I've ever experienced:
Arriving home and not knowing where in the world to put her!

Her first bath- in the sink. She used to make the cutest little face--eyes wide open, mouth in a little o, one hand fisted up by her head. And she used to go so still and quiet.....we captured it here:




Bringing her to the beach house- and taking her first fence picture:



Her first happy girl smile.....I think I took fifty pictures of this moment:


Her special baptism, with her gorgeous princess dress:

Eating cereal for the first time, she used to like to hang on to my hand when I fed her:
And the big girl bath that she still loves:


How can we forget some of her holidays- Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas:






Her favorite Snoopy-friend, that she loves to snuggle with:And here she is most recently- playing, eating, standing and laughing:











Happy Birthday Snuggles. Mommy and Daddy love you to pieces!

P.S. I adore the photo of her sitting w/ the soda can, wearing her little pedal pusher jeans. She looks like a little teenager...just over at somebody's house, hanging out, listening to music. So cute!

YEAH!! And happy anniversary to you! I remember the days surrounding Jackson's first birthday, driving people insane with my "one year ago today, I/we were ____" I relived every moment as if it was yesterday.

Oh my, has time just buzzed by so fast. I loved seeing all the first pictures and how much Aliza changed and grew into a big one year old. Great job Lisa and Russ she looks wonderful and beautiful too.You make parenting look so easy.
