Looking back, this year has gone so very quickly! Patrick and I (of course me more than him!) were both a little sad over her birthday - not that we want to relive those first few months, but at how quickly a year can fly by! What a big girl we have, such a change from a short year ago.
On Sophia's birthday I was reminded how lucky we are as we sat down to dinner. A few years ago I remember going out to eat and watching a new family eat a few tables away. Tears started streaming down my cheeks and I wondered if we would ever be as lucky as that couple to have a baby of our own. I started crying as we sat just like this couple once had - a family! We made it, our wonderful little family of three! Happy Birthday Sophia :) Mommy and Daddy couldn't be happier!!!
Just a few pictures from a year ago!
Our first family photo
Eating her cake! She picked at it so daintily - what a lady!
We were suprised she actually did want to stick her fingers in the cake!
Opening presents - getting a little restless!
Even though she wasn't thrilled to be opening presents at her party, she really likes them all now!
Patrick & Jack goofing around!
Anna playing with balloons.
Waiting for the party to get started!
All of Sophia's cakes! I've been waiting to do this forever and even though it took appoximately 5 hours, it was worth it!
Kissing Julia at breakfast!
A close up of the big cake! A hot pink ladybug :)
Our family now! She cooperated much easier a year ago!
Playing with her new barn from mom and dad.
She loves to dance to the musical cards! Way to cute!
These are her 1 year pictures that we actually had taken on her birthday!
