Today Indigo Lily turned one year old! We weren't too keen on the idea of full-blown cake for her little tummy, so this morning we had a quiet breakfast with homemade pancakes and maple syrup. Her first mentionable experience with sweets, and she thought they were pretty darn good.

Ah, Indy, I could totally believe I just had you last month. How has a year passed? A little over a year ago you and I were more like this. . .

And then there was 22 hours of this. . .

(I pretty sorely regret that I don't have more pregnancy/labour pictures. At the time I thought I wouldn't want any. . .)

And then there you were! 

(For more pics of that day you can check out Kate's blog here.)

We were expecting a boy (thanks to TWO erroneous ultrasound techs), but you were most definitely a girl, our little surprise, and after a year with you we can't imagine you being anyone other than yourself! We love you Indy Bug!

Indy was born in the winter, but being a tiny babe, she didn't get to experience snow, so this is her first real cognizant winter (and it's been a lame one, hasn't it?). It finally snowed worth sneezing about on Friday so we took her out into the snow to see what she thought. (She's looking boyish thanks to some nephew hand-me-downs and a too cute hat I couldn't resist in a resale shop, but at least she's got the hot pink boots and the eyelashes for miles, right?)

At first she was like. . . hmmm?? maybe??

And then she was like. . .

Also, did I mention that she was scared of a balloon at Chick-fil-a the other day? Oh well. There's always next year.
