Look Who's One!!
The official day was November 3, but we had a wee party on the Sunday. Poor kid - the entire time she was eating I had a flashbulb in her face - but the results were worth it. And, she stood up and cruised for the first time, right on the big day. I also took her for her one year check up, and she has grown 8 centimetres in the past 2.5 months. She's now 80cm (32 inches) tall, and in the 90th percentile for height. Yikes! She's starting to look like a toddler!

holy cow! who has stolen your baby and replaced her with that (admittedly gorgeous) teenager?!?!?
she's ginormous.
hey, my girl's at 90th percentile height, too - perhaps we have the start of a volleyball team on our hands?
She's growing so beautifully. (8cm in 2.5 months - wow!)
Happy Birthday, Makeda!
p.s. Er, didn't you say you weren't going to take the obligatory stuffing-face-with-cake pictures? Yes. Yes you did. I remember thinking to myself that I had to remember that conversation so I could throw it back in your face later (now).
