My Baby Turns ONE!

It sure happens fast.  Seems like it just happened.  Lily, you took your time getting here and it wasn't the wonderful birth story I thought I would tell.  In fact, it was the hardest of my four.  But once I held you, sweet little one, all thoughts of pain and agony were forgotten.  It's a miracle that God gives us, to hold new life.  One that was knit in my womb for almost a year.

We've struggled with tummy problems and PPD but look how far we've come!  You are blossoming everyday and we can tell that you are enjoying life more and more.

Your favorite thing to do is to sing with mommy or daddy.  And we love to sing to you.  You have started to climb recently and even took several steps yesterday!  You love your brothers and sister.  Spaghetti and blue berries are the only foods that you seem to love but you are branching out more and more.  It's true that your favorite activity is nursing but you seem to be accepting that I'm trying to get you to eat more food and nurse less.  You are timid of others and you like mama to hold you.

Lillian, you are so precious to us.  We love your hugs and kisses.  Your smile brightens up a room.  You are a smart little cookie and we can't wait to see what the next year of your life holds!

We'll go to the doctor next week to see how you've grown.  And your party will be Saturday, what fun we will have!

Happy Birthday, Little Bit

We Love You!!!
