ONE!

My baby turned ONE!(well about 2 weeks ago she did, I'm a bit slow per usual) I cannot believe it.  The joy that we feel for her and the love that we have for her is so overwhelming.  She is the perfect little addition to our family.

 When she "arrived" a year ago!

 Birthday Cupcakes!

 First Taste-not quite sure

I'd say she LOVED them! The whole time she said "yum"

What is she:

She is our little, chunky pumpkin! The shortest in the bunch-also having her weigh the least at one(who would have thought my heaviest baby would be my tiniest one year old!) 29" and 20.8#

She has always been our serious child-NOT any more.  She is developing such a funny little personality.

She loves to giggle, and make other people giggle at/with her! And oh the faces she will make to get you to laugh at her! HA, I wish I had some pictures, but they change so fast you have to be careful not to miss them!

She loves to dance-oh man does she love to dance.  You turn on the music and her whole body rocks out!

She is opinionated! Yep.so.very.much. She may not be able to "Speak" but she will let you know what she wants, and what she wants she wants NOW!

She loves her siblings, and they love her.  There is nothing like some good sibling lovin' in this family!

She is determined!  She is determined to learn how to walk-currently she cruises around the furniture, the walls, ANYTHING that can help her walk, she will find it and she will use it!

She is starting to talk! Words she can say: mama, dada, dede(Decafe), kitty, yum, we are still working on getting the siblings names down but if you ask her to look for one of them specifically-she will point to the correct one!  She can sign: milk, thank you, eat, and more (we are working hard on please, she loves to just yell!)

She is our baby with the most hair! I love it! I'm not always sure what to do with it, since we have always had bald, blonde babies. BUT we love it!

She LOVES her daddy!  She is the 1st baby in this family to LOVE their daddy SOOO much.  He comes home and she squeals and runs to the door, if she isn't the first one kissed on and picked up oh man watch out-daddy gets a good scolding.  She loves mommy too, but she is the first one to truly be all about daddy!

She makes our lives complete.  I think we would be so lost without this wonderful, chunky, bundle of love! The one who makes us giggle, and sit down to snuggle! Our little pumpkin!

Happy Birthday Pumpkin! We love you soooo much!
