365 days ago, I started the day with this:

And ended it with this:

Hard to believe our tiny, squalling, barely-formed human has grown so much and learned so many things in the space of one year.  Looking back over her photos, the changes seemed to happen in the tiniest of increments.  But added together, they worked miracles!

One Month

Not an early fan of baths….

Two Months

Three Months

Wow, I hated that haircut.  (It only lasted one painful week.)

Four Months

Elsa’s first baseball game — Nationals / Orioles at Camden Yards

Five Months

Zoe watching over her one-member Flock

Six Months

Not an early fan of grass, either….

Seven Months

Much-improved on the bath front

Eight Months

Nine Months

First Christmas

Ten Months

A favorite toy, responsible for many happy hours’ play (and also for Mommy and Daddy’s nervous breakdown after they go to bed singing The Farmer in the Dell to themselves for the 10,000th time)

Eleven Months

First signs of Snowmageddon

Birthday pics coming later this weekend — stay tuned!

Here’s a quick baby pic, on my way to climbing back on the blogging horse:

We were at the airport on our way home from Elsa’s first plane trip, so of course she had to wear her super-fabulous pilot hat!  (A gift from generous-hearted Jillian, found at Etsy seller Soil.)
