Happy 1st Birthday Mila!

Here we are. We made it a year!
Sam and Mila. Mila is contemplating her birthday wish.

A messy Mila with her favorite person in the whole world. (Sam is glaring at me as I type this!)

Mila wasn't quite sure what to do with her cake at first, but she started to squish it in her hands and loved it.

We all enjoyed some delicious dirt cake.

Mila was enjoying her cake so much that she didn't want to get cleaned up!

Mila's 1st birthday was on Friday the 13th. We had a really small get together because we had been sick all week and hadn't really planned much. I had been trying to decide what kind of cake to make and how to decorate it. I decided on dirt cake because Mila has the most amazing eye sight and picks up every little speck of dirt off the floor and puts it in her mouth. She really loved being able to eat all of the "dirt" she wanted!

I can't believe that my little baby is a year old already! I won't lie and say that it has been poodles and candy canes the whole time. Being a mother has been the hardest, most exhausting thing I've ever done in my life! With that said, it has also been the most amazing thing to watch this tiny little bundle grow and learn all that she has in this short time. There is still nothing that melts my heart more than to have her snuggle in to me and lay her head on my shoulder. We are so lucky to have her!
