Christina Aguilera's baby girl is officially an entire year old. The singer shared a peek at their birthday fun with fans, posting a photo of Summer Rain Rutler to Instagram on Monday. Check out the darling's amazing blue eyes here.

Xtina, who is also mom to 7-year-old son Max Liron Bratman, previously told People, "It’s the little things that are so amazing as a mom and just make me so happy and proud to be the mother of two beautiful, amazing, incredibly talented, lovely children."

Matt Rutler, who is Summer Rain's father and Christina Aguilera's fiancĂ©, also shared a few pictures to celebrate their daughter's big day. Along with posting a sweet photo of his daughter in his arms, the proud dad also shared a video that caught my attention. In the short clip Summer 'writes' on a piece of paper that is put in a bottle, and then the whole thing is tossed into the ocean. Check it out by clicking here.

I originally thought the message in the bottle was part of the birthday festivities, but the video clip is dated five weeks ago. Still, it got me thinking. I won't lie that my very green heart didn't cringe a little at the sight of something being thrown into the sea, but I love the idea of kids writing a note every year on their special day. If you were to save them over the years they'd change so much!

A Facebook friend of mine is also in birthday mode this week, and I couldn't help but notice her family starts the honoree's day with breakfast of choice and presents. No waiting all day in anticipation, they hop right to it! I think we're terribly regular in our house, but I do love hearing about how other families celebrate.
