Happy Birthday Anna!!!

Umm… two days late!!!

Happy Birthday little girl! The last year has gone by in a flash! You are so beautiful and smart and curious and brave.

We wanted to remember Anna’s first moments in the world with some videos and pictures from her first moments of life outside the womb.

Here we are, shortly after she was born, in awe and wonder.

Here is a video we didn’t mean to take… so you can hear the sounds of a newborns room at a home birth.

Anna – right after birth:

Aww – little smooshed baby face:
