Alina's bff came over to play on her birthday. The two of them are ridiculous together! They get into everything and are definitely going to cause some mischief in the future. We tried to get them to sit together for a picture but this is as good as it got.
And then they were off! Going to see what they can find upstairs.
Checking out the bear
Into the books
And then I stopped trying to get a cute birthday picture!
Yay daddy got home early to see the birthday girl!!
I cannot believe that our little miracle baby is ONE today!!!!!!! Now that we know her personality so well, it is no wonder she pulled her cord from the placenta. She is the most active baby I have ever known and doesn't even want to stop to eat or sleep! That's right, she still gets up multiple times every night. She can already climb to the top of the stairs by herself (although it makes me nervous so I keep my hands right behind her). She is starting to walk quite a bit by herself but prefers to hold on to us so she can go super fast. She says some words and understands so much, and is just so joyful. She keeps us smiling and laughing every day :)
We celebrated Alina's birthday a little early this weekend with our family, and Mimi and Poppy got her this new tricycle! 
She rode like this because she was so interested in watching the pedals haha!
Alina didn't want to let go of her apple and she tried to eat it whole with her two little teeth! 
Maybe she learned it from her dad!
Someone with a nice camera and great photography skills (like Lisa and Jen!) would have gotten some amazing shots! The orchard was beautiful and there was a great view of the lake and Adirondacks 
Alina is really into books lately and she is already learning words!
We enjoyed the beautiful fall leaves and weather and Alina had fun riding in the backpack and grabbing Sean's head! She loves being outside and looking at absolutely everything- she doesn't miss much!
Check out the amazing swings at the park in Kingston!
Alina loved the sand!
And takes after her mom (into the mangoes...actually she was just playing with the bag but she does love mangoes!)
