A few pics and a video from Frankie's first birthday. She actually barely ate any cake, and mostly just smashed it up and threw it everywhere. We bought a separate cake just for Frankie so that she could smash it up and we could still eat some cake.

Christian and Laura decorated the house. Christian really had a good time picking out the balloons and the decorations. It was a nice small party with pizza and cake. Her cousin Jamie and Laura's friend Katie came over for the festivities.

Frankie is now scooting all over the place. Not quite crawling yet, but, she's found a way to get around. She is at that spot now where we put her down on the floor and she ends up somewhere else before we even notice it.

It's especially nice to have this celebration in our new home. We've only been here about a month. It seems unreal that it was a whole year ago that I was videotaping her shortly after her birth. Everyone says it but it's true, the time really flies.

She weighs 16 pounds, 8 ounces, and is about 27 inches long. She's got two lower teeth and four uppers. She's eating lots of different finger foods and is still breastfeeding too. Laura found a great bottle just today that she seems to really like drinking from, so perhaps dad can feed her a little more now.
