Rebecca had such a good time! She blew out the candles on the cake, had cake for the first time, and the first birthday gift she got was a bunch of baby barettes for her hair and toys! It was a blast! Below are some pictures of the happy baby on her birthday! That is the one word I could use that would describe her most accurately: HAPPY! She loves life and lives it very happily! She wakes up happy! She eats happy! She plays happy! Only two times she is fussy: when she&#8217;s hungry and when she&#8217;s tired! She also doesn&#8217;t like being away from Mama for very long! If Mama goes out of the room, she looks around, and after a certain amount of time, she sounds the alarm! \ud83d\ude42 It&#8217;s getting to where she understands though that when Mama leaves, it&#8217;s not forever, and she&#8217;s not leaving for long, and not leaving her behind. She really loves Mama! When she wants her, she yells: Mama!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>I do have one claim to fame though: I was the first to make her laugh! And she has started calling me by two different names: Daddy and Baba! Baba in Chinese means Daddy! I love it! Call me Daddy, sweetie pie, and you have me wrapped around your little bitty finger!<\/p>\n<p>More photos below! See ya tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love birthdays!
