Birthday Girl

About a month and a half ago, you finished your first trip around the sun.  We had a little birthday party for you, and invited all your friends.  I would love to post pictures of them, but I would need their parents' permission first, so I'll just put them in your photo album.  Here are some pictures of you enjoying your birthday cake.  It was a heart-shaped butter cake with pink buttercream icing.

You got lots of great presents, and your absolute favorite that day was a wooden duck on wheels.  Sorry it is sideways.

You received many other toys, including a puzzle, a magnetic farm, clothes, block crayons (you have yet to draw your masterpiece), a purse, a pail and shovels for the sand pit, an old-school rotary phone, books, a train that spells your name, and much more.

I know you'll never remember your first birthday, Stella, but I will remember it for the rest of my life.  I love you, sweetheart.
