First Birthday

Well, it's official, we made it past Kiki's first year!  At 8:02 p.m. on January 27, 2010 Kiki came into the world; screaming, gooey, and reminiscent of a chinese sumo wrestler.

And here we are, after what was at times the longest and the shortest year of our lives, with a little girl.  We got through our first year as parents and managed to keep her alive and not screw her up too terribly.  Well, at least not that we can tell.  It has been amazing, crazy, absurd, and the greatest thing ever.  Looking back, I can't believe how much she's changed, although at times she does remind me of that tiny diapered baby. 

Happy birthday Doodle.  Happy birthday.
