The hardest thing in the world




Is taking a picture of a one year old!

That's right, she's one year old today. And for her birthday, she got a nice cold. Complete with puffy eyes. As if it's not hard enough simply with the way she moves, trying to get a picture between nose wipes adds to the difficulty of the task. But none the less, these pictures were taken on the day! I'll probably try to get some official one year old picture later. This time last year, I was working hard and praying for the epidural to come soon!

My mom and dad are here and Adam's parents and my sister will arrive a little later. We're just having a little family party but I will post pictures of the cake eating and the rest of the emotional roller coaster I'm on me because so many milestones are flying at me!

Well, you certainly can't tell. These pictures are so precious. You are on the ball today if you just took these pics today and already made a post! I can't wait to see more pics of the big day. I'm so happy for you that you will all be surrounded by family for this special day. That is very special!
Happy 1st Birthday Chloe!!!! God Bless You :)

Those pictures are great, Dana! You do such a great job! I can't believe she is one already. I'm starting to understand the whole "time flies" thing.
