Happy first birthday, sweet girl! Every day I am amazed that God has given our family such a gift. You are the most loved baby! Everyone in this family adores you so much. You are always so happy, your smile fills your whole face. You have such a big laugh, and we all have fun trying to make it come out- which doesn't take much. Your favorites are baby chase, being tickled in the belly, and someone hiding and surprising you.
You have just started walking while holding on to a cart. You are the fastest run crawler I've ever seen. I'm sure you're going to be taking steps in no time, so we're enjoying this last little bit of your sweet crawling! You can put your as up high when we ask you how big you are. You LOVE kisses. Whenever dad walks in a room you start making kissing sounds- so cute!
You have five teeth, the last three popped up within the past couple of weeks so fast! We're still working on hair. Looking back at baby pictures of the boys, it looks like you're going down the Chris bald path : ). It's amazing how similar your baby pictures look!
You're starting to eat a little better now that you have teeth. No baby food for you! You only want what we are eating. You love steamed veggies, and who doesn't love some good carbs? Pizza crust, bagels, and toast are your favorites. You still nurse constantly, and I'm a little nervous how you're going to react when we start taking that away (tomorrow!).
You are such a talker. You tell us all about it in big sentences. The words we can figure out in those sentences are Mama, Dada, mo (more), and na, na, (no). You're specialty is ahhh, ahhh until we figure out what you want : ).
You got off of your heart meds last week, and we feel so blessed that you're doing well without them! What a trooper you've been to take medication every eight hours for a whole year! We pray that your heart issue was a little blip that we'll all be able to barely remember.
You love your brothers so much! They are equally as smitten with you. They constantly want to love on you and speak "Audrey" to you. When you hear them get up in the morning your whole face lights up and you start looking for them. I love that you have each other!
You have become such a Daddy's girl. You are not the best sleeper (understatement of the year!). Correction, you're not the best sleeper unless someone is holding you. On the weekends Dad will hold you while you nap as long as you want. It makes you so happy. You wake up in the best mood! I love watching you two laugh together and be so silly!
I also love our girl time. When the boys are at school, you and I have some serious dance parties to Taylor Swift and Adelle. You love to twirl super fast. We also like to snuggle up and read, and play "roll the ball".
Girlfriend, I hope you can tell how much we have loved this year! What a perfect addition you were to our crazy family! You are such a beautiful gift! We hope you feel the love we have for you! Happy first birthday!
Love,
Mom and Dad
