Happily, we celebrated Lucy's 1st birthday three weekends in a row. This was our second "party" for her and we were in the middle of singing "happy birthday", when friends from our old church came down to celebrate and hang out (two weeks after we moved in). Lucy loved the cake and the company!

This was her actual birthday, just me, Daddy, & the Goose. I love the look of amazement on her face. She grabbed it with both hands and munched for a good long while. She's also graduated to a booster seat at the table; bye-bye, high chair!

Both sides of grandparents' great minds think alike!

On her actual birthday, we took Lucy in for her first studio portraits.
As Dave says on his blog, it was super fun. But totally worth it! This shot was one of three where she did not cry or look like she was in pain. We have it proudly displayed on our living room wall. What a cute little girl!
