I am one year old today



The truth is, I don't like writing this post. I may have cried a little in the checkout line yesterday when I bought a "1" candle for Stella's cake. It's just going way.too.fast. I feel like I will blink and we will be dropping her off at college bawling our eyes out.

To say we have enjoyed our little Stelly Belly just doesn't suffice. I cannot imagine a bigger blessing to our family and have had many moments this year where I pause and just stare up to the heavens in gratitude. It's awfully fitting that our baby girl celebrates her first birthday on Thanksgiving, because we couldn't be more thankful for our little miracle. It has been quite the year for us as we adjust to having a family of four, but all the more joyful to our everyday lives. Happy Birthday baby girl. We love you, adore you and can't imagine our lives without you.


I am saying "doggie" all day long
I give kisses
I can book it up the stairs
I am very close to walking and stand on my own now
I love taking baths with my brother
I am enamored with my Daddy
I love being in my stroller
If I don't want something, I am quick to chuck it across the room
I find great pleasure in emptying out drawers
I like to spoon feed myself
