Cara Cui turns ONE!!! by Rosabel

Our little princess turned one yesterday… Happy Birthday CARA!!!

We had been planning Cara’s 1st birthday for months but it actually seems like I started planning it the day she was born. It signifies such a turning-point for us. Imagine, she made it past the scary 4.12 lb. stage, past the crying-with-no-purpose point, past the sanitize-me-at-every corner point. She’s a beautiful toddler now and we can’t be prouder!

Here’s a few proud-mommy points I’d like to share so everyone can get to know our baby girl a little better:

  1. Cara loves to eat! Just about anything too. But just like her brother, she prefers salty food (bad mommy!). Unlike brother, though, Cara eats a lot of fruits (grapes!) and veggies (broccoli!) and good snacks like raisins. She can eat just about anything except for carrots (diaper rash!)
  2. Cara looks very sweet and she actually IS very sweet. How nice to have a girl this time around! When she shares her smile, it feels like Christmas!
  3. Cara has to sleep often, napping at least twice a day and sleeping from 8 pm to 6 am, or she gets really likot and grouchy.
  4. Cara loves Baby Einstein! And we do too!
  5. The first thing Cara likes to do in the morning is play with Zachy, and vise-versa. They look for each other first thing, every day. We’re so lucky!

Thanks to all our family and friends who shared Cara’s first year with us and all of you who joined us in our celebrations!

Thanks to Zachy who has been such a terrific brother to Cara this past year. Thank you brother!!!

And thanks to daddy Gabby, Cara’s sleep-mate and early morning nanny. Thank you daddy!!!
