She has been such a sweet and loving spirit from the very start. She was by far my "easiest" baby, and people have often commented on how happy she always is. She loves giving hugs and kisses, and while the moments are becoming less as she gets more and more active and curious, when she sits and snuggles with you, it just melts your heart. She is a little chatter-box, she doesn't say a whole lot of "real" words yet, but that doesn't stop her from having a full on conversation with you. :) She absolutely LOVES to sing, she sings at the top of her lungs at church, sings whenever she hears music, and just sings to herself while she plays. She is not quite walking yet, but she has always been one to do things on her own time...and she gets into plenty of trouble already, with out walking. :P I like to play a little game with her where I rock her in my arms counting, and when I get to "three" I toss her gently onto the pillows on a bed, she thinks its hysterical, and now she will climb onto the spare bed in her room, rock on her knees and count "wha, dwoo, weee!" and throw herself down on the bed. Recently she has started pointing to things that she wants and saying "diss, diss!" (meaning "this"), and has started getting a little sassy attitude when she doesn't get what she wants, or if one of the boys takes a toy she was playing with. She has such a little personality, and we love having her as part of our family.
Here are some pictures of her special day:
After Daddy helped her unwrap the first present, she figured out how to pull the wrapping paper off all by herself :)
Her cake that I made, it was my first time ever doing fondant, and I was pretty pleased with how it turned out:
The inside of the cake was zebra-stripped too :)
