Our little Elsa Liliana was 1 year old on the 1st of October. She has had such a great first year, enjoying being with her family, learning how to crawl, walk, smile and laugh. She loves her sister, Maria, who makes her laugh many times, especially when she is loud and is dancing. Elsa is still tiny, hasn't reached 7.5 kg yet and is quite dainty. We love her to bits and are so happy to have our two little girls. Just before Elsa's brithday, my mum came over to stay with us for a couple months. It's so nice to have her here and to celebrate with her our girls' birthdays.

Happy Birthday, Elsa! La multi ani, Elsa!

In our Romanian tradition, when the baby is one, she has to choose three objects, which would relate to her future career. So, we put lots of different objects on a tray and Elsa had to choose three of them. Her first chosen object was the scissors. After picking it up, we were all ready for the second object, but Elsa would just look at us and the tray and didn't want to choose anything. After about 5 minutes of persuading her to choose something else, she eventually picked up the mobile phone and the badminton shuttlecock (of which I was very pleased).
Here is Maria trying to encourage her to pick up her next object.
Another moment when you are 1, you meant to have your first hair cut. Elsa's hair was cut by Grannie Mary.
