It's Fun to Be One!

Forgive me if I get a little sentimental with this post...my baby girl just turned one today! It doesn't seem that long ago when we were bringing this precious, pink bundle home from the hospital - has it already been a year? Really? Once you have a baby, people always tell you "They grow up so fast!" and you think that it 's just one of those things that everyone says and you continue on with your day to day family life. Then, on a day like today, I am sitting here, reflecting on the fact that yes, they do grow up fast. I know, I know - it's not like they'll be starting high school anytime soon but still, today, I have a birthday girl who is walking and talking and getting this whole big personality that is all hers! I know it won't be long until she is echoing her older brother, telling me, "I do it, Mama!" I know I am biased but I have to say that she truly is the sweetest thing. She never fails to make me smile! She loves the butterflies that hang over her crib and she points to them every time you go pick her up then tries to say "Butterfly". She loves her blankie and she will put her head down to snuggle on it whenever it's near even if she isn't tired. Most of all, she loves her older brother Evan despite the fact he takes her toys away and is constantly telling her "No, Sis!" And, I must say that I am one lucky Mama to have these two amazing beings in my life...Happy Birthday Sissy!
