Kayla Turns One

Kayla turned one on the fifteenth. Just like every parent out there,
I can't believe how quickly the first year goes by and how much they change
in such a short period o
f time. Kayla, you bring so much sunshine into our world.
We love your many expressions...how you crinkle up your nose, glare at strangers,
and h
ow you smile at just about everything.


She loved her new baby dolls and other toys but
of course the wrapping paper is the best gift.


She hugs anything if you say "Ohhhhh" so here
she is hugging one of her new baby dolls.


We had a little party with some friends and family but being
the wonderful photographer that I am, I failed to get any good
pictures of the guests so they're all of the birthday girl.



Not so sure about the cake at first.


"Hmmm, that's pretty good."



"Here dad, I think you'll like this."


"Oh yeah, being one is pretty great. I'd trade veggies for cake any day!"

Kayla--9 months

Here is our most cooperative child when it comes to pictures. Isn't it unusual that the baby is the most willing to sit there and cheese it up? A family friend took these pictures of Kayla and I just had to share them. She just sat there and posed with no coaxing needed.
