First Birthdays

Today is Alexis' first birthday! My college roommate married another good friend of mine from college and today they celebrate their child's first birthday! It has been amazing to watch her grow this year. The first year is such an amazing time of growth. One year ago I was basically the same person as I am today. But little Alexis has gone from completely helpless to almost being able to walk by herself. She has developed a little personality and has come to know and love her family, pets, and home. Reflecting on how fast the year felt for me and how much she has grown, I am in awe of this life and growth.
