One Year Already?!

One year...... I honestly can’t believe it’s been that long since we sat in the hospital NICU on pins and needles looking at our tiny 2 pound baby girl and hoping she would be ok. It seems like so long ago, but it’s true - Roxie is now ONE year old! In fact, she’s been a year old for oh...about a month now. (I know, I’m slow getting in here.)

Her official birthday was on February 1, but since that was also Super Bowl Sunday, we decided to have a little party for her on Saturday instead. And since we are major procrastinators, and didn’t get the word out until late in the game, many of the folks invited were unable to make it. But.... we partied on down regardless and had a great time!


Her "oh-so-cute" #1 cake (made by G-Ma Laurie) with her own personal puppy dog cake in the top corner.....

Opening some presents with Daddy & Grandma JuJu.... (that tongue stuck out all day!)

Unfortunately, Grandma Julie's gift was the same one we bought and already put together the night before...... :(

Opening Grandma & Grandpa Eden's gift....

....a big, fluffy teddy bear......

Just beginning to dig into her puppy cake....

And I didn't think she'd have much interest in it......

Apparently, it's fun to put cake in your ears..... who knew?!

Back at home after partying all day. With Mommy & Daddy's gift......

And in more recent news..... it looks like the little green walker has done its job because Roxie is now walking on her own! Right now, it isn't an all the time kind of thing, but she's perfecting it more and more every day........... (click to play)

We are so proud!!! :)
