Happy 1st Birthday!

One year ago today God fulfilled the desire of my heart by making me a mommy to this precious little girl! Wow, what a year it has been! My heart is just so full of thankfulness as I reflect over the past year of Lily's life - so much growth and so many changes. 

We celebrated Lily's birthday on December 18th because we didn't know when Levi was going to arrive and I didn't think I'd feel up to doing a party with a brand new baby. We had a small party with immediate family and a few little friends. It was lots of fun!

Watching for her friends to come.

• Lily started walking early in December. She is so fast now!
• She had double ear infections a few weeks ago and had to have her first ever antibiotic. 
• She's still eating pretty well - she's been kind of picky since she was sick.

 Opening presents - good practice for Christmas. ha!

She loved this mug from her Aunt Katie

 Oh how she adores baby dolls! I love how she's a little mommy.

 Cupcake time!

 She wasn't really sure what to think about everyone staring at her waiting for her to eat the cupcake.

 But she got the hang of it!

 Yum!

 I love this face!

 Tearing into her new toys.

Lily is doing great being a big sister to Levi. I can't wait to share pictures of them! Hopefully I can get around to it in the next few days!

Happy New Year!!
