1st birthday

Sophia had so much fun on her first birthday. The day started off with both Mommy AND Daddy coming in her room to get her. We brought the camera and video camera with us, and sang Happy Birthday to a smiling baby. She thought it was such a treat to have both of us there.

Hey, what are y'all doing here??


Cool! You're singing to me!


This is so exciting! It's my birthday!


I'm so big! I'm 1 today!


We had fun playing in the morning and after her nap Aunt Jennifer came over and we went swimming at the neighborhood pool. Sophia splashed in the baby pool, floated in her float, jumped off the side, and enjoyed watching all of the big kids play.

In the afternoon, Sophia got to open lots of presents! She loves her new ball popper and her musical instruments. For dinner, Nana and Aunt Jennifer joined us for yummy burgers at a restaurant nearby. After dinner, they came back over and watched Sophia dig in to her very own cupcake! She loved eating it, but didn't really like how the cake stuck to her hands.

Everyone is singing to me again!


Mmmm....cake


What a mess!


We can't wait to celebrate Sophia's first birthday with all of our family and friends this weekend!
