Happy Birthday! It's finally here! You're a whole year old!!! And if every year is as good as our first one was then I'm ready! You are such a sweet, beautiful little lady! Your personality is just blossoming and your curiosity is exploding. It's so much fun to watch you play and explore. You almost always have something around your neck (mostly necklaces or draped clothes). You are starting to shake your head at me (though I think you just enjoy it and don't know what it means). And you are so polite at the dinner table (you say "please" in sign language whenever you want something). You are always on the move and ready for something new. You are quite the little socialite! You love to be with people, especially little ones. Most people describe you as a happy girl, and you are most of the time when you are getting attention.
For your birthday we pulled out my old babydoll cradle that your Great Grandpa Matthews made and you tried it out for size. Here's you at a few days old:
And here is you on your 1st birthday:
You're growing so big! It's hard to believe that much time has passed, so here are some reflections of your first year.

That year went by quickly, didn't it? She's so adorable!
Love our little Lydia, and love the bright red tutu!!! Happy 1st birthday and many more!
If you think the first year went by fast, just wait for the rest of them. It doesn't slow down. There are even more adventures in store for you all!
Happy Birthday! (And good luck this week with the eye surgery.)
