One Year Old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday, Delilah!!!!

One year ago today our precious, perfect, tiny angel girl was born. My heart sings when I look at her and think about all the joy she's brought these past twelve months. I wrote a letter to her and I thought about posting it, but I think I will just put it in her baby book...some things are just between a mama and her baby girl. So, instead of this being all sappy, let's take a look at all the fun pics from her big day!! (BTW, we're going for her 1 year checkup next week, so I'll do another post later with all her stats, etc.) Enjoy! (And warning: there are a TON of pics!!!!)

The day started off with a trip to Delilah's baby gymnastics class. Chris's parents came to visit this week from Utah and Chris took the day off work, so all 5 of us showed up with 2 cameras. There were 2 moms who came in late and didn't hear me explain that it was Lila's birthday, so I wonder if they think that Delilah is always joined by both parents and 2 grandparents, with cameras flashing. :)

Here's Delilah in the ball pit...one of her favorite spots!

Playing with some of her birthday toys. The table was from Aunt Kim and Uncle Ted, and the musical pony in the background was from Mimi and PopPop

Time for Birthday Cake!!! We always call her Lila Bear, so I made a teddy bear out of the cupcakes. Yes, I know my cake decorating skills are terrible, but at least everything tasted good!

First taste: gently taking the frosting eyes. No indication of the carnage that would ensue.

And after that, Delilah had it all figured out for herself. Cupcakes are yummy!!!

Happy Birthday, Lila Bear! You are so LOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
