The Birthday Girl!!


As I sit here writing this post I can not believe that a year ago today I gave birth to the most precious little girl.  I'm sitting here rethinking everything that was going on at this exact time and it just blows my mind what I was going through and what everyone else was going through just waiting on her arrival. 

This has been the most amazing year and I'm just so thankful that God brought this amazing little person into my life and she has changed it more than I can explain it.  From the moment I saw her I was completely in love with her and couldn't wait for this journey that we were going on together. 

That first night I remember I didn't want to be away from her for a minute but Justin and I were exhausted, we had been up since 3:30 that morning because was were suppose to be at the hospital at 4 for the induction.  By the time I had given birth and our family had come into see us it was close to 1:00 in the morning.  We were both so tired that we decided to let Parker go to the baby lounge for a couple hours so we could get some much needed sleep.  All I remember is crying because I felt like I was being a bad mother because I was sending her away:(

Well all I can say is that I have come along way from that first night and I will say its been an amazing ride and I can't wait to see what happens. (I part of me can wait because this year has gone by way to fast!)

Well yesterday we has Parker Ann's first birthday party and it was amazing!  My parents drove in on Friday and the birthday celebration was Saturday morning after Parker's nap time so she was definitely in a good mood.

Happy 11 Months Parker Ann

Okay, I know that I'm a little behind but to say that its been a little busy at my house is an understatement.  We went on vacation and didn't get back from that till July 30 and this past weekend was my 10 year reunion (which is crazy) So I'm playing a little catch up.  While we were on vacation Parker Ann turned 11 months!!  I just can't believe that she is almost a year old :( Well from 10 to 11 months we have had some big changes.

-She has started pointing
-At about 10 1/2 months she started standing by herself
-She is eating all solid foods now
she loves fruits
yogurt
chicken
turkey
chicken nuggets
mac and cheese
turkey dogs
I'm trying to introduce more veggies but she is just not having it right now but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

She has started saying bye bye and waving when someone leaves (its hit or miss but she is getting the hang of it)

She still loves her bath time and loves getting into her books, she will literally pull everyone book off her bookcase and watch me put them back up and then pull them down again.  Right now she thinks its a game we play.





I took this when she was mid cough and sneeze

loves her book!
