Our baby girl is ONE!!! This past weekend we celebrated Ále's first birthday with our close friends and family at our home and it was beyond amazing!

My husband Gabriel and I have been parents for almost a year now, and we are definitely still learning how to be better parents every day, but I take comfort in the fact that we now know so much more than we realize.
