Lucy is ONE!

February 16, 2011

My baby girl is one! Lucy is the most amazing little baby girl I have ever known, she is so peaceful, so loving, so cuddly, so perfect. The changes that she has brought to our family are fantastic. I have loved seeing the effect that she has on each member of our family. She has even started to tame her wild brother. I will forever feel guilty for her first year being in such chaos around her, but life is calming down, and she has taken it all in stride.

We started the birthday celebration by taking her in for her 12 month photos. It was quite the circus act just getting there! I made the appointment for 9am. I have only left the house prior to 9am a total of 3 times since becoming a mom so this was a challenge! We made it out of the house on time, but halfway there Jay reminded me of the cake that we were supposed to pick up! We turned around, picked up the cake and got back on track. Once we arrived at the photographer's, I realized that I left the bag of outfits at home! We got back in the car, went back home and started all over again! I was exhausted before we ever even started and we were so late that we were getting dangerously close to Lucy's nap time.

I was thrilled with how the pictures turned out. Our little Lucy is such a doll!
