One Year

Well, the day came and went in the blink of an eye, but you my sweet one have turned the big 1! It's amazing the difference a year can make, not just in how much you've grown but in how much our hearts have grown and expanded.

             One Year Ago. Our first family picture!

        On your birthday!!


A little about you:
  • Sleeping through the night! Can I get a hallelujah?!? ;)
  • Still in a few 9 month clothes but mostly in 12 months.
  • Quite the talker with more words/phrases added almost weekly. Your recent obsession is saying "Hi" to everyone, even the dogs. You recently started saying "Hi Dett" for "Hi Jett." It's super cute. You chatter all day long now.
  • 6 teeth with another one peeking in.
  • You roll everywhere now and also love to scoot on your bottom. You'll pivot completely to get to whatever it is that you want. You're also starting to get on your knees and scoot that way as well. We are about to have to put the baby gate up because you are getting interested in the stairs to the basement.
  • You've still got an obsession with food. Your favorite fruit is definitely blueberries and you still love eggs.
  • Just switched over from formula to real milk and you didn't even seem phased by the difference. Still trying to figure out why we're trying to take your bottle away, but hopefully you get the hang of it soon.
  • You enjoy brushing your teeth and never fight me when I scrub them down. :)

Favorites:
  • Being outside and going for walks in your stroller
  • The dogs, especially Jett
  • Daddy snuggles
  • Laughing and being goofy
  • Dancing and clapping to music.

At your one year check up you weighed in at a whopping 19 lbs. 14 oz, and are 29 3/4 inches long. Still a pretty small girl, but we love it.
We never knew how much this year would change us when we welcomed you into the world, but we feel so blessed and humbled by all that God has done in our lives by bringing you to us. We pray that you will continue to grow and thrive and that one day you will seek Him in your life. We love you Mabel Evelyn and cannot wait for what the future holds. :)
