Happy Birthday, Ida Jane!

Today Ida Jane turned 1 year old. It's hard for Mama and Dada to believe that their little NICU tugboat has grown up so quickly.

Here's an extra big blog posting to commemorate the day.

First, Ida Jane models some overalls, which suit her personality (tough, but girly).



Then she tried on a birthday outfit, courtesty of Meme and Baba:



She wasn't sure what to think about the big party, which was attended by Nana, Papa, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Mike, and Evan:


But it turns out that cupcakes are delicious



She posed later for a shot with Nana and Papa.



After the party was over, and everyone had gone home, Ida Jane got to play with newspaper until she wore herself out.



She probably can't wait until next year's party, but Dada and Mama are hoping for time to move just a bit slower. ;-)
