Happy Birthday Sweet Little Girl

12 months! That's one year. A whole year!

Oh my goodness! As of 7/22/14, you are one whole year old! You are officially NOT an infant anymore. *Sigh* You are actually 14 months old by now, but we are going to pretend that you're still just 12 months…you little pookies keep mommy busy!)

Happy happy birthday to my sweet little smunchie wunchie woo woo. I love you so big. I can't believe just how perfectly you have fit into our family, Lila Jane. Everybody loves you, even your sister. Mostly. But you are easy to love. You're smiley and social and what a sassafrass you are. It's really cute.

I am melting. And where did you get those green eyes?!

We had a fun birthday party for you at home and your family came from all over Texas, just for you. Mommy made a yummy strawberry cake and you had a mini one all to yourself. You weren't so into it at first, but you warmed up and eventually, it even got in your hair!

First sugar and that was your very own cake!

In this last month you have become an excellent communicator. You know how to tell what you want, and also what you don't. For example, We were lying in bed nursing before I put you to sleep. I was patting your little tushie-woo like I always do, but I must have stopped absent-mindedly. You reached down, grabbed my thumb with your tiny hand, and pulled my hand up and down in a patting motion. “Mommy, come on!”

And if you don't want something, you make that known by swiping at it or shaking your head no vigorously. But you always, always make a scrinchie face when the answer is no.

I had to include this one, even if it's a little blurry…just look at those piggy tails! I mean, if that ain't cute…

Since last month, you have learned how to sit yourself up! You have been able to sit independently for a while now, but you just hadn't figured out how to go from lying to sitting all by yourself until now. You were so proud! (And so were we 🙂

You have also become a master of peek-a-boo. The changing table is the preferred place for a round of peek-a-boo. You really know how to cover your sweet little face with your open palms, sometimes you even cover your face so hard that it sounds like you're hitting yourself! Do it like you mean it, Lila Jane!

She's leading you in some hand clapping. Good times!

You love The Itsy Bitsy Spider. You'll put your little fingers together (kind of like the sign for more) and I know you want to hear your jam. You also say the same word every time, sounds like “pa-dah.” I think you're trying to say spider.

Happy Birthday Sweet Little Girl

You have pushed two more teeth through! But your bottom teeth are still only a pair…it kills me when you do your incredible hulk face with those two tiny teeth sticking up! LOVE. (Look at this video, the Hulk appears at 13 seconds. Ha!)

We had a birthday party for you and lots of family came from all over the place just to celebrate little ol' you! Aw!

You just started scooting. If we needed any further proof of your being a monkey, this was it. Who cares about crawling, you get around monkey-style and BOY do you like to explore now. You are happy to scoot around from one place to the next discovering what's hiding in this box or under that toy. It's so cute!

Look! It's the Lila pucker.

And you also like to pucker your little red lips when you concentrate. I usually take this as a cue to steal a kiss! When you're mad, like when your sister takes something away from you (which is all the time), you hit the ground with both hands and blow a raspberry into the air–so funny! I know you're trying to express frustration but it is really one incredible display of cute.

Like herding cats…that's you, Georgie, and your cousin Tobey at cousin Katherine's wedding. He's your sister's fave person in the world.

Speaking of big sis, she has really started to see the value of your company. You two engage each other more and more and seem to really enjoy playing together. She is such a good girl, you will learn from the best. Y'all love to play peek-a-boo with the door in the living room, that elicits tons little fairy giggles–best sound ever! You also love of playing peek-a-boo in daddy's kick drum. *more fairy giggles*

Little Sugar, you have made our little family so much brighter. Sugarpie is even starting to get used to you! You are funny, feisty, and affectionate. You are precious, delicious, and beautiful. I just can't believe my eyes when I look down at you while nursing and see shiny dark hair, long eyelashes and red cheeks. What a gorgeous and perfect little creature you are, inside and out. I am so glad that it was you. I am so glad that it was your sister. I am so glad that it was your Daddy. I am so glad that I get to be a part of your lives.

So this is our last monthly letter, but I write volumes and volumes of love songs in my heart every time that I see your sweet, tiny little face. You are my sunshine, Lila Jane. You and your sister…my sweet sweet sunshines. Happy birthday, baby girl. Looking so forward to seeing what year two will bring 🙂

Love you forever and ever,

xoxo Mommy

P.S. Since you turned a year old, you've started burying your face in my neck and squeezing your little arms around me so hard! It's the  most passionate little baby hug I have ever seen and you cannot even imagine how special it is. One day, I hope you're lucky enough to have a little sugar just like you 🙂

I could have sworn it was just yesterday that we were celebrating Gracie's first birthday, but now here she is, our big two year old!! She woke up to our family's birthday tradition— breakfast in bed + her favorite movie and then coming downstairs to balloons and streamers. To our little kids that beats any party!

I love that Gracie's birthday tray was cooked and prepared by her sweet Daddy! Her favorite breakfast right now is cinnamon french toast.

She picked out her dress… and high heels;) If I ever go into the living room and she's not there playing or reading, then I know she's either rifling through the kitchen drawers (ha) or making herself riiight at home in my closet.

From the time she was 8 weeks old, she has spent her whole life in Croatia, traveling and going on adventures with her family. We are so excited to see all that the Lord has in store for her ahead!

Happy Birthday Sweet Little Girl

Emina Grace, our wild and sweet little girl, we love you more than we could ever say. Happy second birthday, Darling!!

Oh my goodness- Happy Birthday (again) Grace!! I can not believe that she is already TWO! Where have these two years gone?!? AND seriously the dress, the heels, and the crown. SO ADORABLE. LOVE it all. 🙂

Thanks so much for sharing with us!! It looks like it was a delightful day friend!!
Sending y'all lots of love!

Rebecca 🙂

That crown is too cute!! Love the pictures of her in your shoes. Having a girl is one of the sweetest things. Glad she enjoyed her special day 🙂

I agree- I am sooo thankful to have both girls and a boy!! Thank you so much, Nancy!

Celery is full of minerals like magnesium that assist with relieving stress which make this a good drink after long day at work. With growing demand for healthier foods, it can be rather expensive to keep up a healthier eating regimen. The manner food was supposed to be, enjoyed and then utilised to nourish our bodies.

It is quite essential that you realize that crash diets should not be implemented. Muscles aren't just for looks and play a significant part in our general health and if they are neglected becoming overweight is one of the consequences.

that tray is gorgeous! What a sweet breaky in bed tradition! love you marshall family!

Granted, the button mushroom is a great low-calorie food, particularly for diabetics. In contrast to public opinion, ravioli isn't made of wheat flour. 1 tablespoon of this may be utilized to substitute an equal quantity of Worcestershire sauce. Well, in such an event a Worcestershire sauce substitute is useful. It goes so nicely with anything mushroom.

Happy birthday sweet Gracie!!! Love your family traditions! We also had a tradition of breakfast in bed growing up, and I can't wait to start with Avonlea:) xoxo

Happy Birthday Sweet Little Girl

Im so excited for you, Katie!!! And you already know how much I adore your fam and traditions:)
