On Monday Therese turned one year old! We stayed home to celebrate, and began the day by all working together to make her strawberry shortcake for breakfast (and for dessert after dinner).Happy Birthday little TT Marie :-) She LOVES strawberries.
Therese ate this all up--it was a huge serving! She loves to gesture to things she wants more of, like strawberries, by pointing and saying "Eh! Eh!" this is her universal word for just about anything. "Hi" "Bbbb" (for ball) and "Eh!" for everything else...that's the extent of her vocabulary at age one :-) I keep trying to get her to say "Mama" but alas...
Opening her birthday present after breakfast! (This was incredibly difficult for Greta to watch...in fact, the whole day Greta was rather melancholy...I think she was glad when it was over the next day!)
Rip that paper!
We got her a wooden toy with 4 wooden balls and a mallet--you pound one ball down and another one pops up. It was a hit! Therese loves balls, and when she clinks them together they make quite a satisfying sound :-)

What a happy babe! She loved being sung "Happy Birthday" to. Her face completely lit up when we lit the candle and sang to her in the morning, and then again after dinner, it was so cute.
A little angel glowing in the sunlight :-)
Photo shoot! Therese loves to sit in these baskets.

Photo shoot! Therese loves to sit in these baskets. She's had her two bottom teeth--as you can see in this photo--since Christmas, and just this week 4 top teeth have started popping out. I can't wait to see how she'll look when they come in fully! It looks like there might be a sizeable gap between the two front teeth!
A few days ago Therese figured out how to crawl up onto Greta's bed all by herself. What an accomplishment! Today the two of them spent about 20 minutes playing on there happily together while I prepped some food in the kitchen.
This past year little Therese has brought so much joy to our lives.
