Jaina's first bite of...

...a maple bar!

Coming back for more...

"Mmmm...this is GOOD!"

"Maybe Daddy will give me *one* last bite??"

Happy 1st Birthday, Little Miss!

I can't believe it has been a FULL year since you were born! The time sure flew right by. You are such a sweet, happy, full of energy little girl. You absolutely LOVE your big brother, Jacen. You light up when he walks into the room. And you are quite the Daddy's girl. When he gets home from work, you crawl over to him and ask him to pick you up! I know it melts his heart.

Here are her "elephant" pictures over the past year...

Jaina's 1st Birthday Party...

We had a GREAT time for Jaina's first birthday party. Grandma & Grandpa, Uncle Allan and Nana & Papa came over. We celebrated today eventhough her birthday isn't until the 11th. Her theme was "cupcakes", so I made cupcakes for everyone, a bigger cupcake for Jaina's smash cake and a cupcake-cake for everyone to share. Here are some pics...

How old are you now, Jaina?

Watch out world...
