She’s 1?!

My sweet little Tori turns one today! Oh where has the year gone?! It is amazing to watch her grow and change. I took her to the doctor today. She got seven shots!! (The kids all said I was so mean to take her to the doctor on her birthday!) She is right around the 50% for her height, weight and head so she is just PERFECT!!

In her blessing Adam gave her when she was one month old he said she would be a joy to our family now and throughout her life. So far that is so true. She smiles and laughs quickly. She often laughs when everyone else does like she understands the joke.  When she is sad and cries she is comforted easily. The kids all love her to pieces and enjoy making her laugh and teaching her stuff. She picks things up so quickly. Marie has taught her in a week how to "give five" in preparation for my Dad coming next month. She is my little angel who can always make me laugh!   

We celebrated her birthday Sunday with the family here. We had lots of fun! I made her the most delicious lemon cake I found on My Kitchen Cafe! I love that blog! She got her own little cupcake!

Marci blew up some balloons for her party! She loves to play with balloons. It is just hard to get a picture because she doesn't sit still! This one turned out cute with Ari and Britain.

The kids all had fun giving her presents and cheering as she opened them. I pulled the most paper off but she sure enjoyed ripping it!

She didn't get nearly as messy as I thought she would. Maybe she doesn't like lemon!

  1. I can’t believe it! She even looks bigger in these pictures…maybe it’s her longer hair. Happy Birthday, Tori, who I’ve not met yet!!

    Tori is a wonderful blessing to your family and my life. She is a wonderful, happy baby. I can’t believe that one year has past since I was there the moment she entered this world. What a beautiful miracle that I was able to be present for. Hapy Birthday baby girl!!
