First Birthday

Mia turned ONE year old today! I cannot believe it! We got this balloon last weekend when we went grocery shopping. She loves balloons. I just can't believe last year this time she was born and we were in the hospital clueless about parenthood. Now she's SO BIG!

We are doing a family celebration luncheon instead of a party this year. Today I actually had to work late and did not leave until after 6. By the time I got home it was after 6:40. I had no time to spend with her. I had to quickly snap a few shots so we could keep our memory for today.
 She loves being with Mike. She only recently started saying Mama and it finally made me happier. I was so jealous that she only said "dada" for a long time.
 I felt guilty not having to spend much time with her today but she said "Hiiiiiiiiii" as soon as I stepped into the house. She melted my heart.
 Over dinner, she ate her avocado, macroni and cheese and some veggie. When she was done, she started checking out the camera. She is a curious creature, always wanting to find out what's going on around her.
After playing with the camera, she headed straight for the trash can and tried to open the cabnet, which is safely secured. She attempted to stick her hand and entire arm into the gap but could not pull anything out. She gave up and went to the other cabinet that we reserved for her to play. She can now stand tall.
