we made it.

4:21pm on May 24, 2012 was a moment of joyous celebration here at the Hanna household: we made it through the first year!

Some photos from our day:

 new baby doll, old dress (of Mom's)

Cheers! It's my birthday! (out for a treat at Panera) 

playing with her new puzzles/obligatory dress + snazzy shoes shot 

goofy fun with Dad 

exploring the lawn (we had a picnic lunch today) 

Mama smooches 

a Daddy-daughter pic

is that for me? 

Whee! Birthdays are fun! 

Lorelei's biggest present: a bathtub of her very own! She lets us use it, too. 

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me,
I am too cute to take a nap, so let me stay up please!

We'll do a "stats" post next Tuesday once Lorelei has her one-year appointment with her doctor. Until then, thanks to everyone who sent cards and gifts and called with warm wishes for our big girl's special day! You are very much appreciated -- especially for all the support and love you've given to all of us this year. Thank you!
