Adalyn is ONE!

She made it, we made, Adalyn is ONE!  Our little girl is on the move and so much fun.  This month, Adi just can't sit still.  She is curious and into everything.  She loves to crawl and stand, and her first steps could happen at any day.  Her vocabulary continues to grow and her new favorite words this month were ten (the floor we live on) and shoes (because she gets to wear her shoes when we "go").  Her appetite is astounding.  She loves all food (well almost) and loves her international flavors as long as it's not too spicy.  She loves steamed fish and can eat half a fish herself.

To celebrate Adalyn's first year, we threw her a very big birthday party.  She had friends and "aunties" from all over the world come to her party.  All in all, we had about 40 people come to our place for Adalyn's First Fiesta.  We ate Mexican food, swam in the pool, ate cake and smashed our homemade pinata.  It was a great day.  Here are some pictures from the party and Adi's 12th month!

Pool Party -- We had some pool drama early in the week, but it all worked out!!

And then there was the Pinata, which Eric and I constructed and over engineered!

And a few more pictures from the rest of our month!

She is on the move and really can't sit still

So Much Joy...even with dish towels

We are off to the states so we will see what milestones are in store while we are back in America!
