my little baby, all grown up...

Today my baby girl turns 1. Well, today more-or-less... Hard to believe! She is definitely a big girl now! Although, she still LOVES her babies (Joan, with half a body, remains baby #1 - probably similar to Hadley with her Baby Davis)...

We could not be happier with our little Lucy Lou. She has been a lover (and seriously effing adorable) since day 1 (waaayyy back in January):

And she's come so far since then. Now she is independent (mostly), feisty, loves EVERY dog she meets, loves every human she meets, and is never happier than the moment I come home from work.

Things she worships: WATER. Licking lotion off of people's legs (yes this is weird, but she LOVES it)... Sticks. Balls (there are, at any given moment, about 12 tennis balls floating around our back yard/house). Squeeky toys. Water. Garden hoses (i am pretty sure she thinks that if she chews one into enough pieces she can make the water come) - she's already destroyed 2 and now I've just quit buying them. Mommy. Grammy Laurie. Her BFF's from across the alley, Piggy & Munchy (i forget their real names, but trust me when i say those 2 dogs ARE Piggy and Munchy). The Lake. Hiking. Really, she just loves life.

Happy birthday sweet girl! Even though you had no idea, i didn't make you a doggy-cupcake or buy you a party hat... (But she did get a pretty sweet Sheep toy from Grammy).

I can't believe how tiny and skinny she is in that first picture! And really, EVERYONE should have a Piggy and Munchy in their lives. It makes you so happy just to say the names. They can be human or animal, doesn't matter. Get your very own P&M immediately!
