Our Big One-Year-Old

Ahhhhh, I've said it before and I'll say it again - TIME FLYS!

Libby turned one yesterday. She's been such a sweet addition to our family and we are so thankful for her. She has forgone the process of learning to walk and is working on her ability to communicate with us. She signs for "milk" quite well and she likes to make sounds like a dog - her barks sound more like monkey noises but she's trying! And her peek-a-boo skills are quite astounding, covering both eyes continually. Watch out though (no pun-intended), if you start playing with her it may go on for half an hour - but you will be rewarded with lots of giggles.

Here are some pictures from the big day. We were blessed to have good friends come and eat some of the cake and help us sing "Happy Birthday." Libby was a little cautious of the cake at first but then she, er, really got into it. :)

As my friend Lisa said, "Welcome to the world of sugar, Libby!"
