A Year!

So Izzy Thu Thi turned the BIG 01 on Tuesday May 20. She started walking about three weeks ago and is very (well okay, so take this with my bias), sophisticated! she likes to read her books (turn the pages), play peek-a-boo to humour all the adults, and give (puckers up and makes a kissing sound) kisses. And she does this really cute thing with her eyes -- where she blinks them intentionally (I am just sure that anyone who sees this will think she has something in her eye or a twitch :)). We are having a very small celebration this weekend but celebrated with an even smaller party on the 20th. And we blew out a candle and made a wish for her birth mom and family who we thank so much for wishing a world of opportunity for her little girl. What a gift she (and they) gave. So enough with the words; here's a little view of this beautiful in all ways child.
