My baby is almost ONE!

12 months ago, you were this tiny 6lb 13oz baby.

You have grown to adore this big brother.

Your smiles and laughter have become contagious.
You started with a little roll over, and now we can't get you to slow down! Your bright blue eyes get me everytime!

You have learned many new things and are so curious.

You even have a few tricks up your sleeve.

And this is you now...ready to take on the world!

Baby girl, I can't believe you are almost one year old. This last year has been a whirlwind of excitement, changes, and growth. You have been a constant source of smiles and laughter, melting my heart over and over again. I love your curiousity and have been amazed by all that you are able to do. From rolling over, to crawling, and now pulling up and cruising you have never stopped on your search discover new things. It is a joy to watch you play with your big brother. I love how much you adore him and want to do everything like he does...you almost drive a car and make car noises as good as he does! And it put tears in my eyes to hear you calling for "bubba" the other day. I can only hope that the next year of your life is as exciting as this one was. I pray that you continue to grow into a beautiful little girl who loves her family, friends, and God. I love you Brayden!

(I am posting this a few days early because the next 72 hours are going to be a whirlwind. We have family coming in to celebrate Brayden's birthday on August 2nd and Kenny's installation as pastor on August 3rd.You can expect LOTS of pictures after this weekend is over!)
