Today Elizabeth turns one! Where has the time gone? She’s such a merry little soul, laughing and flashing her 4 (!) teeth at her beloved brother or anyone else who smiles at her. She’s adventurous, climbing all the way up the stairs whenever Mommy’s back is turned. She’s a good eater, pretty much enjoying whatever is put before her (but especially fruit!), and she’s a good sleeper when not teething, putting in 12 hours overnight and two naps adding up to 3 hours. We love that she’s starting to show more interest in books, in singing, in baby sign language (“all done!”), and in babbling. We think she’s said Mama, Dada, Bubba, Grandma, Grandpa, Duck, Tickle, and Hi. She loves baths with her big brother. She loves snuggling with us in bed on those rare mornings where she gets up earlier than Tommy. (Today he was up at 6 and woke her up at 8:30, though!)
In preparation for her first birth-tea party this weekend, we did a little photo shoot with her birthday present (just wait ’til we move in to State College next month and have the whole tea pot theme incorporated into her nursery!)
In this last one you can actually see all four teeth!
Happy birthday sweet girl!! You are cute beyond words and seem to bring so much joy to your family!!
I am in love with the tea pot!!!! What a precious baby girl! I can hardly believe she is a year old already! Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!
Happy birthday Elizabeth!!!!
Happy Birthday to Elizabeth! I can’t believe she’s one already! And she’s so adorable in that tea cup 🙂 Can’t wait to see what the new room looks like!

Happy birthday, Elizabeth! What a great milestone for Mommy, too 🙂
