makaela turns one.

can you believe it's been a year since miss makaela was born? 

(her first day in the world seen here) 

we've had so much fun watching our niece grow like a weed over the past year. her favorite word is still "wow" which she uses when she thinks something is pretty. she's a walker on the move. she looks just like her mama. she smiles on command when you tell her to "show us your teeth" which is hilarious. she still gets freaked out when uncle danny and his beard move in for a kiss too fast and loves when her auntie teri does elevator drops. she's got a family who loves her very much and can't wait for all the milestones to come. happy 1st birthday, little lady!
