A year of Kira!

Today marks a full year of pure sunshine and smiles from the most perfect baby girl!  Kira is one!

Kira loves her cake, but it certainly was not the first cake of her life...or of her day.  
As much as she loves sweets (like her mom!), she also devours veggie pouches and chicken.  Her favorite food are Cheerios, she is officially done with formula, and loves milk! Minnie Mouse is still her go-to stuffed pal, but she has a strong attachment to Daisy, who lives in her crib along with her doll, that Max named, Sadie.  She moves all over the place by scooting around on her bum, and it definitely looks like she may skip crawling all together.  Mommy and daddy always fight over who gets to put her to sleep.  Although she is increasingly [and age appropriately] more cautious of new people, she does not have a parental preference, which is awesome because both parentals want her all the time!

"Happy birthday to KIIIIIIIA!!!"

The morning before Kira was born and today- two pumpkin muffins ["cupcakes"].  No doubt Max ate that whole frosting-less muffin last year, but today he only licked the frosting off six.

Brooks babies' first birthday


Traditional 1st birthday touchdown!

Big brother birthday hugs!
Max may be a handful, but he sure does love his "Kia!".  Watching Max in action as a big brother have been the sweetest moments of the year.

School party with Riley and Iris

Kira's birth day and Kira's 1st birthday- one year later and she has tripled in size!

The excitement of hearing "It's a girl!" was just the beginning of the most wonderful year with the most wonderful girl.  

The last 365 mornings of waking up to this glowing smile have been amazing!
