Cora's First Year

Today is my baby's first birthday!

We're having a fun party later today, and it's all adults (except the cake-smashing guest of honor), so the wine will be a-flowing. Oh, and my mommy even flew in for the occasion! (That's quite the sacrifice since she left the warm bosom of Georgia to come freeze her butt off up here in the snow. Maybe next year we can bring the party down South.)

So how about looking at all of our monthly pics from the past year? The great thing about having a baby in January is that the timeline of their first year almost coincides with the calendar.

(It's obvious I'm no professional photographer, as the lighting is ridiculously different in each of those pictures. And can you tell what month we moved?)

And of course I have to add in her 12-month picture. From this morning:

So there ya go, a year in the life, 13 pictures, and one happy one-year-old!
Even though there's an extra picture, I'm linking this up with House Unseen's 12 in '12 link-up!
