The face.
Oh how I love my little sweetie. She makes the best faces. I cant claim this masterpiece this time though. This was Daddy's photo. We spent an afternoon at a little park that has meadows of wildflowers. I did not bring a camera nor dress Lily for photos as I was planning on just showing the spot to Dan and Brian so they could take some photos. But while waiting for the light to get right the boys took a few of Lily. It was interesting as it was one of the first times I was just the Mom. I stood next to her and had her go through all the silly things she knows how to do...Wave bye bye, clap your hands, sign All Gone, Soooo big.....etc. And she was a HAM! What the heck? I know the above photo is silly but she really was a good little model. She stayed put on the rock until I moved her and showed us how cute she is. Amazing. A special thanks to Brian for taking a few of the photos I am posting here. There is a mix from Dan and Brian so hopefully its okay that I am not crediting each individual photo. But here is a couple of my favorites...and read at the end as I wrap up Lily's one year stats and info :)
At One:
Weight- 19lbs 14 oz (28%) Height- 31 inches (95%)
