Adrielle's 1st Birthday Celebration

Given that little Adri often exhibits stranger anxiety, Mart & I were very mindful when we planned her little birthday celebration. We figured that Adri would prob end up bear-hugging Daddy or Mummy, or worse, wail uncontrollably should the majority of the guests be unfamiliar to her. Eventually, we settled for a dinner between our immediate families + some close friends. =)

We were glad we had a small crowd. Adri was all at ease and mingled well amongst the guests. An excellent host, she gibbered and giggled with the crowd, totally unaware that she was the reason behind their loads of laughter.

Things happen so fast after little kids turn one! just yesterday (@ 12.5 months), Adri took many steps unassisted, from Help to me, in an attempt to pass the little basket which she was holding to me. Boy, i simply can't wait to capture a few shots of that! =D

I suppose Adri will soon be chasing the cats and the dog around the house? =D
