Mere apne mere saath, aur kya chahiye.
Gift ki list lambi, dil khush.
Main hi main, aaj ke din.

First birthday captions for baby girl

For the first cake, the tiny crown and the girl who now has a strong view on everything. Short and warm works best.

One year old and she already runs the house.
She turned one and the whole family cried. Mostly the grandparents.
My little girl is one, and my heart is not coping.
A year of giggles, three teeth and a whole lot of drool.
Birthday girl, age one: cake on her face, joy in her eyes.
Twelve months ago she was tiny. Today she has opinions about the frosting.
One year of her, one lifetime of this.
First birthday, first cake, first very serious look at the camera.
