Oh What Fun, YOU ARE ONE!

Dear Anastasia,
  I can't believe this day has already come and gone.  You are O-N-E! You are the light of my life, you make everything more fun.  My friends think I'm crazy for not doing much without you--I need more 'me' time they say.  But who would want 'me' time when I could have 'us' time?  You are hilarious, you are cute, you are smart, and I love you.
  Today was a gorgeous day.  This morning I dressed you in a pretty pink dress with tulle around the skirt at the bottom and a little slice of cake with a candle on it. It was a present from Aunt Windi!  It's your birthday after all.  Your FIRST birthday, and I just had to dress you up!  I sang happy birthday to you a few times and we danced.  You LOVE to dance.  After breakfast, Aunt Mandy and Bella came over and we went for a long walk.  You honked the 'horn' on the stroller and played music for us with the buttons.  You showed Mandy how well you walk behind your push toy; you giggled at Bella.  We ate lunch, you took your nap, and then we headed out to run a few errands.  I made you turkey meatloaf (potentially your favorite food) for dinner and then it was time for bed. 
  Tomorrow is Good Friday and Daddy has the day off so we are going to the zoo to celebrate your birthday as a family.  I can't wait, I know you will love it!

--You are in 12mo sized clothing
--You just learned to clap last week
--You giggle after I laugh--which makes me laugh, and then you laugh more--it goes on for a while like this
--You are still not sleeping so well but getting better and better. 
--You still love to nurse, especially at night
--You are pulling up and cruising and just today stood for a couple of seconds all on your own
--You have now learned how to open the cabinets.  So Mommy needs to babyproof those ASAP!
--You are finally crawling on all fours more and more.  That belly scoot is way too much work!

Mommy loves you.  You are moving into an '8' year which is a money year.  Hmmm perhaps you will start your uber-successful modeling career so Mommy and Daddy don't have to worry about your college fund.  I wouldn't be surprised, you're pretty darn cute.
