Today was Vera’s first birthday. It doesn’t seem possible that a year has passed since we first got to meet our sweet girl. She continues to grow quickly and has been a wonderful baby since day one. She loves to dance, play in cupboards, read (and chew on) books, and snuggle. Bill and I can’t get enough of her.
Yesterday we had a little family celebration. Add five cousins (4 years old and younger) to the house and you’ve got an instant party! I was so excited to have a theme… thank you Pinterest. 🙂 I went with The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and while the cake wasn’t perfect, I was happy overall with the outcome. Vera thought her cupcake was pretty tasty – mission accomplished! Of course I am always happiest when surrounded by family and friends, so the day felt pretty much perfect.
There are so many moments from this year that I have loved and will likely grow dimmer as years pass and new memories are made. I know, though, that I will never lose the feeling of so much LOVE that I have had this year. It has been incredible
Happy birthday, Vera! We’re so glad you’re in the world.
holy cuteness! she is so adorable! i can’t believe Vera is 1 already!
