Here she is bright and early on her first birthday. I could go on and on about how fast the time has just flown by this past year, but I'll save that for another post. Our little girl is growing up SO fast! We go in this Friday for her one year check up and I'm anxious to hear her stats - I weighed myself today (which was scary in itself!) and then grabbed her and she was an even 19 lbs. - what a peanut she is. I think all the walking she's doing has to be burning up the calories because gosh, the girl can eat!
We headed to the mall to meet YiaYia for dinner and Papou even got to eat with us on a quick break. They said they couldn't let her actual birthday go by without opening a gift so she got a puppy book that barks - she loves it - we heard it the whole way home...
We also tried out the indoor play area for the first time since it wasn't very crowded. She had a good time and was very interested in all the other kids running around. It's hard to believe she can actually play like this already!
Saturday morning we got up early to participate in the Race for the Cure with my office. We made sure Phoebe was wearing her pink and we even had her own bib made so she'd be official!
With the weather being so gorgeous, we spent most of the afternoon outdoors. I had NO idea a one year old could possibly get so dirty just by being outside! She got to spend time with Brutus, let's just say he tolerated her. She loves his kisses, I'm the one who's not so sure about them!
She helped Daddy do some yard work. 
And the oh-so-good news of the weekend...Pita's ultrasound on Tuesday came back with nothing definitive. They said that her stomach muscles were swollen which is typical of dogs with lyme disease, but since she's an indoor dog and we've seen no ticks, they're not sure what she has but they're treating it like it's along those lines. Let's just say we have a new dog! She's still a bit weak, but she's eating and drinking and going up and down stairs. Thank you for your prayers - we hope she continues to heal and will be back to her old self in no time. Here's a picture of her gnawing on Brutus' bone - what a brave girl she is!

We had to stop on the way back to our car so she could stretch her legs. Of course she had to stop and examine this - it looks like a diamond - we have a very smart girl...
