Happy 1st Birthday Scarlet!!!!!

Guess who turned one year old today? Yes that would be our beautiful little girl, Miss Scarlet Ann Shockley! And to celebrate Daddy bought a brand new camera! UPS delivered a new Canon digital SLR (the Canon EOS Rebel XSi) late yesterday afternoon and Daddy broke it in proper today by taking a boat-load of pictures of the super-special, birthday girl! I knew that it would be a big improvement over our little mid-size digital camera (a Canon A620), but it is amazing just how much better the images it produces really are in comparison. Here's a sample of some of pics from the new camera. Our little birthday princess having a busy day!

Crawling all over the house first thing this morning.

Playing with her favorite cups!

Playing bongos on my tin Q-tip holder.

Taking a serious look at it.

Playing with her "ball maze" machine.

Playing with her new "Dolly," a birthday present from her Grandma Sharon.

Trying to get Daddy to get her another book.

Getting a book HERSELF (just to throw on the floor, of course).

Having some "goldfish" as a snack before going out.

Enjoying being at the park with Ma-ma & Da-da.

Sticking my tongue out at Da-da, and looking so cute.

What a model!
