ONE YEAR
WE DID IT!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL! Mommy and Daddy love you more than anything!
Lots to report, LOTS, as life has been incredibly hectic the last ten days. In VERY good ways, but I haven't had a minute to breathe. We're actually in Florida right now on a lovely vacation. All we're doing is eating, sleeping and beaching it. The weather is a fantastic 80 degrees and sunny and as soon as Meli's feet hit the hotel room floor, she walked straight across the room. Trying to get to the beach no doubt.
This has been the most tremendous year of our lives. The ups, the downs, the in-betweens. Thank you all for sharing this journey with us. We so appreciate the support we've been given in the first year of our daughter's life. I, for one, can't wait for the next year!
Thank you!
L, C, G & M!

Happy Birthday to Meli! (though I always thought the mommies deserve a birthday present on the day of our child's birth) It's amazing how fast the first year goes by (and the next and next and next). Enjoy it all...from the smiles to the tantrums. It's all wonderful. All the best to your family.

Happy Birthday Meli! And Congratulations to Mommy and Daddy for making it through the first year. It only gets more fun from here! BTW, after seeing video of Meli, my 4-year-old daughter who has two baby brothers, informs me that we need a sister baby like Meli. :-)

Happy Birthday, Meli! Happy Birth day, Cara! Congratulations on a great first year.

I was wondering when Meli's birthday was -- when you said she was walking I was thinking she was probably near her first b'day. I agree w/ the Elise in the first comment. I also think the mom should deserves a present on the baby's b'day. A vacation is a good present. Happy birthday to that sweet girl and her loving parents!
