(Day 368) Such big eyes!

1 year and 2 days old - only you could look this gorgeous with a face stuffed full of banana! 

First birthday! (day 366)

Dear Layla,

It is beyond comprehension that (even with us documenting and savoring every moment!) this year has gone by so quickly, and today you are one year old! I don't even have the words to describe how blessed we are to have had you complete our family of 6, and how much you have changed your brother and sisters as they have grown up this year, loving and adoring you, and sharing the common awe of helping to raise a little sister.

I couldn't choose just one photo today, just as I couldn't bring myself to end our '365 day project' yet either. So here we are at 366...

With much love xx Mama

First birthday

Today was your first birthday and in true Layla style, you slept through your party, then partied hard all through the afternoon - dancing pool side to music that was playing very loudly (they must have known it was your birthday) elsewhere, and making Mummy run back and forth as you pretended to go to jump in the pool, then ran back away from it! As usual your ever-loving cheer squad was there to catch you when you finally decided to dive in!

We love you more than is imaginable xxx Happy Birthday Layla-Rae
