Our Birthday Girl
Good morning, birthday girl! You are one today!
Today was a very special day. It's so hard to believe that it's already been a year since we welcomed our little girl into our lives. And in true time, it snowed! As we drove to the hospital last year in the biggest snow accumulation Georgia had seen in more than 15 years, it was hard to believe. I still think my anxiety over losing power and thinking of "what if I have to get to the hospital in all of this?" was the cause of why she decided to make her surprise entrance. When the weather forecast predicted snow for her first birthday, we were excited and surprised again. How rare that would be for her to come in the snow and then celebrate a year later in the snow! Well, it happened! Last year when she was born, Cam declared her our snow baby. Today she lived up to her name!
Birthday Bottle
Tissue paper is the BEST present!
That candle is "hot!"
We aren't sure if the snow surrounding our little Maeve means that she's pure and peaceful or if it is an indication of her unpredictability! I would like to think it's a reminder of how truly special she is to all of us who love her so!
Why have you been keeping cake from me all year?
This stuff is great!
Being very busy on her birthday!
What a day!
Our one year old is fast becoming Miss Personality. Some of our favorite things she does right now are:
-walking on her tip-toes (while holding our fingers)
-blowing kisses
-whistling by blowing in and out
-crinkling up her nose and smiling really big
-calling "daddy" on the phone
-waving "bye bye" but saying "die"
-laying her head on our shoulder and while sucking her fingers
-yelling upstairs for Cam
-looking for CoCo while she's in our bed
-taking your finger to point to pictures in a book
-cruising around the coffee table and outoman and snatching anything she thinks she's not supposed to have
Her favorite things to say are:
dada
mama
CoCo and woof
quack, quack, quack
hot
juice
bye, bye
cookie
My how our lives have changed in the last year. We cannot imagine our life without her.
"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." -2 Peter 3:18
