Jessa's One-Year Pictures

We had Jessa's one-year pictures taken...twice. At attempt number one, Jessa was just not in the mood for pictures. This was the first time we could not get smiles out of her for pictures. A couple days later we found out why: she had two more teeth break through we didn't know about (that makes a total of 12 teeth). No wonder!! Attempt number two went much better, but we still had to improvise! We came prepared with our laptop and one of her Mickey Mouse DVDs. The photographer said we were smart: we said "no, we're desperate!"

Jessa had her first birthday last week. It's hard to believe she's one year old. Time really does fly and it really is amazing how much she's changed in only one year's time! She went from seven pounds to almost nineteen pounds, walking and talking with ten teeth!

She did really well at her party and loved the giant cupcake and ice cream we had for her! She's definitely our daughter though: kept things pretty clean and easy to clean up! Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful gifts. She's such a lucky girl! We hope you enjoy some of her birthday pictures. She had fun dropping her favorite toys on the hard floor and repositioning the chairs throughout the room!

Remember how I told you Jessa likes the Beverly Hills 90210 music? Well, I got her on video when an episode came on the other day. As you'll see, she kinda gets in a trance when the music starts but soon forgets about it when the song is over!
