Flashback Friday!

today, my sweet little baby is ONE year old!

ahhh, where did the time go?

believe it or not, i have really savored her being a baby...and haven't tried to imagine {too much} what she will be like as she grows up. but as i should have expected, today that's ALL i can think about. 

i thought it would be fitting to post pictures of our sweet pea over the past year...

this post has taken me forever. i got lost looking back at all the pictures.

i am amazed at how much she seems to be doing just in the past few weeks/days:

she drinks out of a straw.

says "more" in sign language.

says "dada" when she sees him or in a picture.

WALKING! actually yesterday she was almost running around the living room.

smiles when i say "cheese".

holds her own bottle {full of whole milk!} and lays on the ground drinking while watching TV.

finally can put herself to sleep in her crib{with a little crying but who cares?}.

still taking 2 naps most days.

loves water...drinking it, swimming in it, and bath time!

favorite foods are green beans, chicken nuggets, pancakes, and fruit.

dislikes scrambled eggs.

she is so much more awesome than i ever imagined she could be :) she makes me smile everyday, and he things i never thought i'd be able to do are done in a heartbeat for her. i love this kid so much, it's crazy.

i am looking forward to the coming years to see exactly what she will be like.

happy birthday jocelyn!
