Is it really that hard to stand still for Halloween photos? Yes, because light sabers = chaos. Really, really awesome chaos.

My baby is one. We had a small celebration on her birthday last week. She tore into the cake, seated herself on the (wrapped) gift and gave all her adoring fans quite a show.

It's been an amazing year. A new baby, a new home, new friends. I've had so much hope and happiness rolled into twelve months. It is amazing to see an actual person develop before my eyes-- to watch genetics and nurturing at play in a little soul.

You may think she is the most adored baby in town. To that, I'd have to say yes, why yes she is.
