Our 1-year old!

Lydah has had her first birthday now. We celebrated a couple times. Once, about a week before her actual birthday, we celebrated with family while in Illinois during Labor Day weekend. Then, on her actual birthday, our small group from church threw her a party. Below are pictures from both events plus some extras. Lydah has now completely abandoned crawling and has even figured out how to descend stairs. Suddenly, we feel like she has blossomed into a little girl. She cries less and talks more. She also thinks it is hilarious when her mommy and daddy try to dance!

Below are images from the birthday party in Illinois:

And here are some from the one in Kentucky:
