A Year already???

 How has it been a year?! That's right... This Sunday (January 19th) we will be the parents of a ONE YEAR OLD! Holy smokes!

Apparently realizing that your baby is no longer very babyish weighs on the emotions. Last week as I was reading through birthday cards I just lost it and starting crying right in the aisle. I have to say this has been a challenging, exhausting, and the absolute best year of my life. My husband and I continue to grow closer together as we raise our beautiful little Lily as a team. 

So what's new in the world of Lily? Her personality has been growing like a weed just like her little legs. She constantly makes me laugh, cry, and just feel so blessed to be her Mama. She is a cruising machine...She climbs and walks along everything! she loves to play with the Tupperware cabinets more than any toy and she's happy as long as she's in any room I'm in. She LOVES to wave to everyone and everything so people just fall in love with her anywhere we go. She is full of smiles and laughter and I am so smitten through it all. 

We finally got her sleeping in her room! It was probably the hardest obstacle for us this far. I'm such a baby myself when it comes to her crying, but sadly she was no longer sleeping well in bed with us and neither were we. We are headed into week 2 of her sleeping on her own and boy does she sleep! 6:30pm to 6:30am! 12 hours of me and  Matthew enjoying one anothers company and getting well rested to be the best Mama and Wife I can be. 

As for now I'll leave with a few pics and plans to be on here a lot more... :)

I love these pictures that show our journey. <3

 Today at the park. Can't get enough of this girl. 

God is truly amazing.
