She turned 1 and nothing happened!...

...this was Katelyn's comment on Rebecca's first birthday, and for the weeks that followed.

Kate has often asked us when Rebecca would walk, and talk, and get teeth, and our answer was usually, "Oh, probably when she's one." Well, Kate, being the four year old that she is, thought that those things would happen spontaneously on Rebecca's first birthday. Much to Kate's dismay, when we set Rebecca on the floor she did not walk, and when we checked her mouth there were still no teeth. But, being the good parents that we are, we decided to celebrate Rebecca's first birthday anyway.

While they are a bit belated, here are a few photos from the day. We were fortunate to get to celebrate at Martin's folks' house, with cousins and uncles and aunts. And, Rebecca's big cousin Hannah celebrated her third birthday at the same time! A fun way to turn one!

And, yes, while Rebecca is not solidly walking quite yet, she did take her first steps on Christmas day, and broke in three new teeth this past week! I guess we're finally on our way!
