Oh my - the sweet little girl is a full one year old. As a friend recently mentioned - with young children the days are long and years are short. She has genuinely sweetened with each day - can't get enough of her. We paused to celebrate the year on her birthday last Saturday - September 8 with family, friends and neighbors. Planned for the event to be outside though significant rains rolled in. 
Evening had a great time with everyone and still enjoyed her alone time. She was especially pleased that the Oregon Duck football squad took down Michigan on her birthday (she'd like to attend a game next year for her birthday). All the excitement made the little girl a little tired so she laid down for a nap at about 5PM...and ended up sleeping through the night. So cupcakes and presents had to wait until Sunday morning.
