I can't believe it has been already a month since her 1st birthday party. Kaylee took her first few steps on the other day while facetiming with her aunties so I think she's going to be walking in couple more weeks! yay! high five! She graduated from her rocking chair and mommy will be documenting her second year in the big girl chair in her nursery. Looks like she does not mind the new change at all, looking super duper happy. Recap from her birthday party! We took so many photos that it took forever to sort through them. Here are the highlights! We put couple items in a plate so we can see what she may be interested in. Each item represents a profession. She picked up a book and then a pencil after, meaning she'll be a scholar when she's older. She received many wonderful gifts from friends and family! She had a good time opening up the gift wraps and was more interested in the wrapping paper then the gifts! :D View more photos of the decor here !

Before Kaylee's birthday party, we had Kaylee's newborn photographer, DCPG Photography and Design came and shot Kaylee's 1st birthday. I couldn't help but took some behind the scenes photos to share with everyone. I had to wake Kaylee up from a nap so she wasn't all that happy when we first started the shoot. Luckily she warmed up pretty quickly after Cies's daughter let her borrow her toy to play on the chair.  Cies and with her cute little personal assistant, future photographer for the DCPG :D Here is the result! They did an amazing job and I can't stop looking at them! Her eyes really sparkles in these photos!  She is just too adorable even when she is crying! Good thing mommy had iphone handy, she was all giggles again. Before the shoot, they took some beautiful photos of the decorations  here . The photos look like they are straight out of a magazine!
