Pink Lemonade and Pinwheels–First Birthday Ideas

This is the little baby who has surprised us ever since she came into being just one week after our miscarriage. This is the 9 lb 13 oz baby who came into the world (without drugs!) after a “short” 17 hours of labor. This is the baby who we cuddled skin-to-skin as she fought a suspected lung infection during her first week in the NICU. This is the sweet baby who falls asleep easily, confidently explores on her own, laughs at our correction (Lord, help us!), drools constantly, brings out the best in her sister, amazes us with her concentration, flexibility, and curiosity, and reminds us daily that being a parent to a little baby is a beautiful, wonderful thing.
