1 year ago today....

Happy 1st Birthday Braylin! One year ago today I woke up at 2:00 am contracting.... nine hours later I was on the labor unit... and at 8:07 pm our 8lb 3oz, 20inch baby was born! One week earlier than we expected, our little chunky sweetheart was here.

I can't believe how fast the past year has gone by. She has brought so much joy to our lives, and we are looking forward to seeing the changes she'll make over the next year to come! Such an exciting time!

A few things she's doing....
-- walking on her own
-- crawls with her feet on ground and bootie in the air
-- saying "woof" at a dog, pointing at EVERYTHING, saying dak dak at a duck, uh-oh, oh-boy, daint for Saints, ball, bowl, ba-ba for baby
-- eating big-people food
-- drinking whole milk
-- loves to swing and rock
-- kisses when you ask for one
-- loves to blow a kiss
-- loves to clap her hands
-- I'll add more as I think of them....

Started off her birthday morning like this:


Reading the Birthday Monsters book from Taylor, Aunt Jen & Uncle Ray
