One is the most UNlonely number!!

      Holy Moly you are ONE baby girl!!! What a year it has been! Full of laughs, tears, spills, fun, trips, family, and more love than I could ever sum up in words. I can say with absolute truth that this past year has been the best of my life. You have brought purpose to our life in a way I didn't know could exist. You have filled our life with more joy than we could have imagined. It hasn't always been easy, and there have been some fights and tears along the way but we have come out the other end of the tunnel happier, stronger and more excited for the future than ever.
      You no longer crawl anywhere, straight walk or run every where you go. You climb absolutely everything and anything, from pullups on the screen door, to couches and chairs, to stairs. You are fearless and sweet, and at times a little diva. You run to the door when  you hear the door opening around 4:30 and know it's your Dada. You don't like it when we leave you or leave the room but you are fine after you get distracted by something else (this is definitely something we need to work on). You are still a great eater and eat pretty much everything we eat. We know you are done eating because you start picking your food up and tossing it off the side of your high chair (another thing we need to work on). You say Mama, Dada, Bye, Hi, wave, kitty and just recently starting saying Nite Nite when you are ready for bed.
       For your first birthday party I wanted to keep it simple. We had family and close friends and ended up with about 40-50 people. You are absolutely loved!! It rained off and on all day which was kinda a bummer since it was a BBQ but all in all it went off just fine. Your Grammy and I made the cake. We had a few decorations, nothing crazy we just wanted something simple and intimate and it turned out great.
       Happy First Birthday sweet girl!! We can't even imagine what the next year will bring but we know with you in our life it will be nothing short of amazing. xxoo
