Happy Birthday, Laura!

Laura turned one on Saturday, and we celebrated in style!

The happy birthday girl!

Mom, the cake was tasty, but I'm ready to go play!

As I drove Laura to school this morning, I turned around and looked at her sitting in her big girl car seat.  She had the remnants of a bottle in hand, as her feet dangled just the littlest bit in her brown Mary-Janes.  She was wearing a big girl outfit, a purple jumper with leggings.  She just looked like a big girl.  Ok, she's only one and still a baby, but in that moment I could really see her as a the chatty girly girl she is becoming.  It's hard to believe one whole year has already passed.  Laura is two days into her second year.  She is walking like a pro.  Laura is a toddler.
