Well, Melody has successfully crossed the year mark and is now officially a toddler! We celebrated her “official” birthday with Grandma & Grandpa and we had a nice time. She only fell down on her face once so there wasn’t an awful lot of blood on her birthday shirt. Seriously, she gave herself a fat lip on her birthday. We are such bad parents!

A couple days later we went out to Calico for the Civil War Days there. I posted some really cute pictures in the gallery of Melody enjoying the day and stealing the show – no surprise there.

We had our 1-year appointment as well. We managed to keep her alive for the first year and in relative good health. She is 25 lbs 13 oz, which is a pound up from her 9 month appointment. But, she is now 31.5 inches! She is just growing like a weed.
