Aurora Turns One!

Happy birthday, baby girl! We are so excited you joined our family one year ago.

You have five teeth. You have orange streaks in the back of your hair. You say three words: "dada," "mama," and "ish" (which means "this").

You love bananas. I have no idea why. You will take bananas over anything else. You still like a range of other foods, but your preference is definitely bananas. You will look for them and bring them to me to feed to you.

You love your daddy most. If I happen to be holding you when your daddy comes home, you will push away from me and focus all of your attention on him--grabbing, calling, staring, EVERYTHING until he holds you. If I'm not holding you, you will run to him and reach up and insist you be held by him. You love him so much!

 Your brand new birthday Sunday dress.

 Birthday outfit from Grandma.

 You were so happy seeing the cake coming toward you. Then we placed it on your high chair and you could not care less. Sorry it was so disappointing! :D

It took a full minute before you would touch it, then you would barely poke it, then you were upset that you had sticky frosting on your hands, so you tried to use your clean hand to figure out what was going on and get the M&Ms off of the top.
