Can I get a moment in time, please? I knew with her being the 3rd child that I would have to work at savoring every minute because in the midst of a full house things would fly by. However, I had no idea that even though I hung on to each memory with the tightest grip possible, time still raced by at warped speed! But when I put aside the sadness and mourning of the loss of my last "baby" slipping through my fingers... Adelynn, your first year has been a blast!!!! You are such a precious baby full of adorable expressions and busting with gladness! I couldn't have imagined a more perfect fit for our family. This weekend we will kick off the celebrating of your birthday week. I hope the new and exciting things you experience on your first birthday will bring you half as much joy as you have brought us already!
You definitely love the idea of balloons!
And...it was so fun for the girls and I to watch you tear into your cake for the first time. You seemed so amazed and you kept looking at me as to say, "Mom, are you sure this is okay? You never let me do stuff like this. It is a dream!"
Here is when you really had fun with it! Your sisters were worried to death that you were making such a mess and rubbing it all over your tummy! I had to pull out photos to remind them that mom sat and snapped photos of them doing the very same thing!
