Independence Day: What a Difference a Year Makes

What a difference one year makes.  Just this time last year, you were only a couple months old, and enjoying your very first Fourth of July.   Of course, we captured it in photos.  Fast forward one year, and we recreated the same pics to mark the milestone. 

Here you are last year, just an infant, sweet baby girl.  Although, we all agree now that you didn't really look like you were just two months old, but you WERE!

And here you are now, as a toddler on the move.

Last year, you weren't old enough to sit in the wagon, so I held you up in the corner for a couple pictures. 

This year, I joined you for a few pics in an attempt to keep you in the wagon!

And then there's your best pal and "sister", Izzie.  It's always a walk on the wild side when she joins the pics, but we captured it two years in a row now.  Here you are last year.

And here you are now.  You girls do love each other.  It's such a sweet sweet thing.  You were hugging Izzie in this picture. 

Of course, it's the moments between the moments that always make for the best candid (and often funniest) photos.  And if you have a photographer like your Daddy, then they just keep snapping photos constantly, leaving you with lots of "in between" moments to sort through.  :) Here are the outtakes from this year (notice how they all include Izzie, the Wonder Pup)...

So that's it for this year's pics.  Stay tuned for more, I'm sure, next summer!  Love you, Babydoll!
