one

in honor of her very first birthday...

laney and i took some pictures this morning.

 actually, we took 350 pictures.

 and i'm only posting 56.

 peruse if you dare.

 she's not the easiest subject to photog.

especially when you're on your own.

 it's a good thing she's cute.

and, i'm done.

then we tried to get some cute cake pics.

"hmmm, that looks interesting."

"squishy."

"what if i do this?"

 i experimented a little bit with my flash, can ya tell?

 also, i made her cake on her birthday, exactly a week ago.

so it was a liiiiittle bit harder than it should have been.

 monkey girl.

finally got a taste.

 not too shabby.

so proud of herself.

 ok, just one more prop.

 "laney, out."

and washing her hair...

 

 so goofy. :)

franks was helping make her smile.

helping a little too much. ;)

 "mom, i'm doooone!"

 "no, really addie! 300 pictures is too many!"

 she's a really good fit thrower.

 really good.

and this ends picture overload - 1-year-old edition.
