I am sorry that I was not able to post this on your birthday. I tried and blogger was not working. It wasn't working the next time either. I know when you are older, the timeliness of your birthday post will be important to you, so today I apologize to you, sweet baby girl.
love,
Mom
Plenty of cuddles
Plenty of cool presents
It was so fun to have a birthday girl who knew what was going on, very impressive for ONE. Rachel found her presents early and tried to open them, so I knew she got the idea of unwrapping gifts. She loved unwrapping and playing with gifts, although she didn't get so many turns with them. They were so cool, the big kids didn't let her while they were awake.
She (through her endearing baby ways) talked Gary out of his chocolate Easter bunny, so we knew she LOVED chocolate. If I had my thoughts together before hand, I would have made the cake look like a chocolate bunny. But I did not (in hind sight that's probably good because it would have looked vaguely Playboy). She was having a weepy day on her birthday, so I figured she would rather have cuddles than a fancy cake. She loved the attention, and she loved the plain chocolate cake.
