One

We celebrated Daphne's first year of life this past weekend. We had Aaron's family and a close friend come over to share in the baby-party excitement. First birthdays truly are my favorite to celebrate...There was the thrill of learning that for this one occasion it is OK to rip paper, the giddy feeling of everyone in the room's undivided attention, and of course the pinnacle moment of indulging in her very own cake. I know its cliche to say, but I really do have a hard time believing that my baby is already one-year-old! She is such a delight and has been my joy...she truly deserved that chocolate cake!The Monkey cakes I made. The small one was exclusively for Daphne to rip apart.


It looks like she's not sure what to think of her new baby doll.

Getting the hang of ripping open presents.

I love this picture...the happiness on both of their faces is so genuine (it melts my heart.)

Mmm Mmm Mmm...it's all MINE!

I'm just getting started...

Happy Birthday to me!

How stinking cute. I loved the bow on the monkey to match. I can't believe it's already been a year! I feel like it was just yesterday that Aaron was posting the info on facebook. How the time flies. Love ya!

So sweet! Wish we could have been there. Her little shirt and the cake were adorable and I bet you made both! Can't wait to see you guys at Thanksgiving!
