Bella Turns One!

My baby girl turned one today! I can't believe how quickly time has passed. It seems like just yesterday that I brought her home. Motherhood has been a joyous experience. I have to remind myself to savor every moment because it goes by so fast. We are having a pool party for her this weekend (more pictures to follow). My husband and I took her to Pasadena to celebrate. She loves being strolled around so she can look at everyone and everything. However, on this day she preferred being held. I put this darling hat on her that I got from Gigi's. My husband hated it...he said she looked like Phyllis Diller. While that was funny, I made her keep it on. I have to admit, the flower is out of control, but I am a sucker for hats with flowers. She can get me back later.




That is a Johnny Rocket sign in back of her. We are limited to eat at restaurants now that have outdoor seating and that serve the meals within minutes. Even though I was craving gourmet Italian, I had to settle for greasy burgers and fries.




This picture was taken by my husband the day after we came home from the hospital (last year). I use to be able to hold her on my chest...now, she fits across half my body. Amazing!
















I believe I posted these already...but I couldn't resist. These were taken a month ago.
