It is sometimes hard to believe that our baby girl is already 1 year old. This last Saturday marked her 365th day on the planet, and so we celebrated in the traditional way with food and presents. You have to love a day that celebrates you simply because you managed to survive another rotation of the earth! Actually... it may not be a bad idea to celebrate people simply because they are more often. We get so caught up in celebrating success and achievement that sometimes we can forget that God celebrates us all the time, simply for who we are, not for what we have done.
But, back to my beautiful daughter. For those who have seen pictures, it is sort of crazy how much our two kids look alike. They are about 2.5 years apart in age, but when you look at Jared's 1st birthday and Laura's... well let's just say that we are glad we labeled his pictures because in 10 years or so I doubt we would be able to tell them apart. Jared already thinks that all the baby pictures in the house are Laura. He is constantly pointing to a picture of himself at 1 and saying, "Sister!"
We have discovered that neither of our children like cake. I have a full 4 minutes of video which shows my daughter looking at her cake and wondering why anyone would eat such a messy food. At least that is what I picture her thinking because she does not want to stick her fingers in that thing! Jared was asking for cake all afternoon... but after one bite he decided that he was not much into cake either. Maybe we will switch to birthday suckers or ice cream next year.
The Favorite Present award goes to the new shoes. No, they don't go on Laura's feet, but she sure does love sticking them in her mouth! She used to chew on Jared's shoes, but now she has some shoes of her very own to eat!
