Happy Birthday to Me

And just like that, my first year is history.  Aside from getting a tiny bit taller, I am exactly the same as I was at 11 months. No new teeth, word count remains zero, I still love all food, and I still wake up every 3-4 hours at night to eat. 

We celebrated with a great party. Mom says not to get used to these kinds of birthday parties because I won't see another one like it. And anyone who knows my mom knows she isn't lying. So I savored every minute of it. As always, Miss Traci provided the birthday costume. If you look in my mouth in the pictures, I was also eating the hot pink tutu. No one noticed until the pictures busted me.

My new bike. I just need to grow about 6 more inches

My amazing jungle animal cake. The top was mine, and everyone else shared the bottom. We could even eat the animals

I think I got it

More decorations than this house has ever seen

My friends

My extended family couldn't make it out but they will get to celebrate with me soon. My grandparents in Indiana sent me money to use later

And my grandparents in California obviously can't wait to take me to the American Girl store. Check out the fancy way AG sends gift cards

I got lots of other great gifts too.  Big kid toys are so much more fun than teethers and rattles. 

Thank you to everyone who made this such a memorable year. To say it was eventful for the Keller family is quite an understatement. Life is Good.

Up next...my first Spring Break trip. 

ALOHA!
