My Baby's One Year (and a week) Old!

I just can't believe Hana-chan's one already. Where did this past year go?

I mean, just look at that face - she's such a grown up baby!

To help us celebrate her birthday, my mom flew down for a 5-day visit. It was the hardest thing ever - trying to keep her visit a surprise for Momo-chan. I told her we had to drive to the airport to pick up Hana's birthday present, and that she should keep her eyes peeled for a big, red bow. My mom walked through the arrivals gate holding a giant bow in front of her face, and I caught the girls' reaction to it all on video. Priceless! That afternoon we baked cupcakes in ice cream cones and Momo had her first-ever experience decorating the finished goodies all by herself. She was so proud!

As you can see, Hana was a big fan of those cupcakes!

For prezzies she got a wooden cart/walker with 4 colored "sensory balls" from Nana & Papa (she's sooo close to walking, so this will help her to practise), a Little People's circus toy from us because all the LP's toys we have now are hand-me-downs from Paul's brother, whose wife is now expecting twin boys(!) and we'll have to return them, and Mom's visit along with a pair of cozy, winter PJs from my parents. 

Happy 1st Birthday, Muffin! xoxoxoxoxoxo
