A Year.

Well, this is it! At 11:15 am last June 30 my baby girl was born. Everyone always says they grow so fast---and they do!!! Here is a snapshot of what our little toddler is doing right now, as well as a few snapshots to look at:

She is taking about 3-5 steps at a time before she falls. She crawls like a champion. She has her own word for mama (mama), daddy (dada), puppy (puhpuh--or sometimes dada), ball (bawh), paci (baba), up (puh), nana (nana), papa (papa), balloon (bah-umm), bubble (bah-bumm), hi (hiiiiiiiii), bye (byebye), baseball (baba while clapping) and music/dance (ba-baba-ba---her attempt at the tune of her favorite mickey mouse song). Eats her food and throws some of it. Eats  a variety of different foods. Drinks from a bottle and somewhat from a sippy cup (more on her than in her mouth). Hates to be alone. Persists toward whatever she wants---harder and stronger if she is told no-no. Loves watching other kids and wrestling with the dog (she pins him down). Screams like a girl. Picks things up and hands us things. To be honest there is too much to write down---it is amazing to watch her grow!!!!



Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!

Dublin's Birthday Party!!!


We celebrated Dublin's first birthday on her Daddy's first Father's Day (9 days before her birthday)......It was a warm day, but a beautiful picnic with lots of friends, family, and fun!!!! There is a link to more pictures, but here are a few to enjoy!








Her Sweet Pea Cake
(She didn't like it...but put some in her hair)

Thanks to all who made it out!! We were so glad to see you. 


Catching Up Again....Earlier in June

Dublin said goodbye to her school as it ended....







She celebrated several birthdays with some good friends....






She started swimming lessons...



We spent some time with her cousins and Grandma...

We also had our power out for several days (thank you to those special friends who hosted us and all those who offered to help!!) It was quite an adventure...Dublin did great!
