And She's One!

One year ago, at this very time (11:00am), I was getting ready for my noon appointment with Dr. Gallo. Two hours later, Lucia came shooting out into the world. Literally.

Coming home from the hospital.

The following pictures are of Lucia opening up a present that her Aunt Shelley gave her. We haven't really planned for a major party for her. Just maybe some kind of cake tonite with my family, and tomorrow night at the ritual dinner at the Sotos.

She has discovered her gift!

But wait! What is this? An Elmo card?

Taking it over to the couch for a better view.

Walking around reading the message from Aunt Shelley.

And now she rips it. She does that to everything she loves. Luckily, Gideon is still intact.

Speaking of Gideon, how is he dealing with all this birthday fuss? Especially, since it's not all about him?

Well, he's not impressed.

Here are two videos. In the first one, she is opening her present. In the second one, I am attempting to get her to stay still to get a shot of her in a tiara. However, she is not having it.
