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.
