...and that's that. Wow. Time crawled for three months, then decided to race ahead of me and beam me into Feb. 2013.
We really didn't make a big deal about her birthday. Baby L woke up, had a regular-ish breakfast at our favourite breakfast spot, and she played with her toys. She napped, far too late into the day, and ended up having a late bedtime. Her Nana and Ye-Ye were in town, so I suspect her excitement might have wreaked some havoc on her internal clock.
We did give her a birthday gift, but it's still in the mail, yet to arrive. I'll post about it when it gets here.
We also did the cake thing, and Baby L *loved* her cake. We learned that she's not a messy face-first sort of cake eater. I think that comes from my side of the family ;)

It was one of those days where, every time I thought of it, I would stop and try to remember what that first day with Baby L was like, when I was half-drugged, groggy, dead tired and also exhilarated at being a first-time momma. Though we didn't do anything major, and I didn't take a bazilion pictures, the day was sweet. I'm so glad we were able to spend it as a family!
