Looking Back...
June. Taking your first bath at John Muir Hospital. We would spend hours staring at you in amazement. I thought you were the most breathtaking sight I ever saw.
July. Your hair is so dark and spiky. I almost wouldn't recognize you.
August. Here you are celebrating Dad's 30th Birthday in Aptos. It was your first trip to the beach.
September. What a little Peanut! You started to enjoy your Bumbo seat. Your sweet personality really started to emerge.
October. We dressed you up as a Dalmation for Halloween, but most people thought you were a Cow. I think you wore that hat a total of 10 minutes.
November. The spiky hair I loved so much began to relax. You went through a big growth spurt and started to get "rubber band" wrists.
December. Here you are for a night out in the city! You are always the life of our party.
January. Your hair started to get blonder. Do I talk about your hair a lot? Here you are eating Saltine crackers. They were your favorite at the time.
February. You were my funny Valentine.
March. We took our first vacation as a family to Hawaii. You weren't really interested in relaxing on the beach, but enjoyed looking at the fish in the hotel lobby.
April. I dyed you two dozen Easter Eggs and you could have cared less, but you sure were happy!
May. You started to look more like a "big girl" and less like a baby.
June. We've come almost full circle now. This is where you enjoy spending the majority of your day (outside).Wherever did the time go???

A wonderful trip down memory lane!
I love your recap of the 1st year. Amazing that Ellie is one year old. She truly is the sweetest, happiest baby and such a delight to always be around. I just love her so much. Happy Birthday Ellie. Can't wait to celebrate your 1st year.
