Who could hang a name on you?

Dear Victoria,

Hi big girl! It's your birthday today! And every time I ask you today if it's your birthday you reply with the violent head nod that you have magically seemed to pick up today. You little smarty pants. Even though everyone in this house is sick, and we had to cancel your big family birthday party on Sunday, I made you some pink cupcakes and we all (Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and Charlotte) sang happy birthday to you after dinner. That part made you cry, but the pink cupcake seemed to help. You are such a happy and sweet girl and you are so loving. Countless times during the day you come over to me and hug my shoulder, or my knee, or whatever part of me you can find to hug. You like to laugh and have fun with your sister, but you like your space too. You are confident, independent, funny, coordinated, and curious. I love how you like to use the bottom step of the stairs as your own personal couch. You'll take a toy over there, sit down, and examine it for a minute. I think you will probably be an early talker like your sister (it's the Page genes, you can't help it). Mostly I love it when you say "hi," it's so adorable. You really have been answering yes and no questions today with either a nod or a shake of your head. It is hysterical! And a handy way to communicate. I love it when you tell me yes you are ready for your nap.
Tori, as soon as you joined our family we felt complete. We love to watch you grow and figure things out. I'm just trying to soak up every day with you little missy!
Happy birthday to our Victoria Ruby!

Wow! Already a year? Crazy! She's so cute. And cupcakes make everything better.
Awwww!! Sniff. She has gotten so big and so smart! That little picture of her upright and walking adds a year at least. ;)
I love how you always write so descriptively about your kids' personalities so they'll know what they were like when they were so young. I wish I had your skills!
I totally forgot about her newborn hair! She looks like a different person. Either way...so cute!!!
P.S. Can you send me a few cupcakes :)
I'd like to second the order for cupcakes!
Awwwwwh. I love little Toria.
I loved that post! It was so sweet. I can't believe how much hair she has. I wish Brie had more hair to play with :)
I really can't get over that she is a year old already. Time has flown by!!
