I cannot believe our little girl is 1 today! She was so excited about turning 1 she has been waking up early all week including today at 3am, thank goodness she went back to sleep and got up at a somewhat more reasonable hour of 6am. Our little girl is such a sweet character, she is full of smiles and giggles and yet sensitive in so many ways. She is very cautious when it comes to adventures, but with people she grabs hold (literally!) and gives so much love! This has been such an amazing year and what an adventure God has allowed us to be on having her in our lives. It only gets better everyday, (except when she’s teething!)
Sweet Annabel, we love you so much and can’t wait for the years to come!
Here are just a few pictures from the day, eating her cake, crying when daddy moved some of her cake and a big grin with teeth and all when she held the dolly Grandma and Grandpa gave her. I will try to get a video up after we get back from camping.




So Precious! I love the little curl on the top of her head!
Daddy! How could you move her cake and make her cry!
Her hair is getting so long and look at those teeth! We are so glad she likes dolly’s “big sister”. We will have to have another cupcake for her in Sept when she comes although it won’t even come close to her first one. Jackie is right, she is so precious and we love her so much. Can’t wait to get our hands on her when she comes.
We love you so much Annabel Ruth. It is hard to believe it has been a year since we welcomed you into our family.
Agh! 1Year already? Thanks for sharing the pics. Wish we were all there to celebrate, she is absolutely a beauty.
