One Year Old!!!

I'm pretty sure this last year was the fastest one of my life!  I can't believe this sweet little girl is already one.  We had a lot of fun celebrating her birthday. . .
Finally old enough to get into things!

Ariel was the official party decorator.  She seriously blew up every balloon by herself!


Delicious!
Grandma and Grandpa got her a new set of wheels.  She loves  it!
Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for coming!
Also, thanks to Matt, Cami, and Russell, the coolest aunt and uncles. :)

We love this sweet little girl!  she delights us every day with her quick toothy smile (with a slight under bite. . .)  We love how she decided to get around by scooting on her bum rather than crawling.  We love how she loves to look at books and pictures on the wall.  We love reading the "Happy and you know it" book 70 times every day with her.  We love how she loves to snuggle in her blanket.  We love how she tries so hard to be one of the big kids.  We love how she can't resist holding and hugging a doll.  We love how she ISN'T scared of dogs! (yet)  We love how she has enough hair to put in pig tails already.  We love how she thinks we can't see her when she puts her hands on her cheeks to play peek-a-boo.  We love everything about her and are so excited to start the second year of her life.

  1. So sweet! This year didn't to have gone by so quickly until now that I'm looking back. It's been especially fun to see your little girl grow since we only see her once every couple months. It's like she's another girl each time. I can't believe all that happens in that first year!
