The Big One!

Our sweet little Brylee, also affectionately known as Bry Bry, buggie, Pink Jesus, and Brylee bum, turns a year old tomorrow. I can't believe how fast the year has gone by. It seems like yesterday we were bringing our sweet baby home.

Here's our little angel at 6months starting to eat food. Look at those big gorgeous eyes!

And here's our baby now. She is such a happy girl and such a joy to have in our home. Her laughs light up our day...her big dimples are so cute!
We had her party tonight and she had so much fun.
Here are some highlights.

Opening her first present.

She just wanted to play with her new toys and didn't want to open any more presents. We had to keep helping her move on to the rest of her stuff.
The birthday girl had no hesitation diggin' into her cake. She loved every bite. She was a little hopped up on sugar and did have a hard time going to bed tonight. Her reaction to everyone singing Happy Birthday to her was priceless. It was fun to see another one of our kids experience it for the first time.

It's always hard to see our babies grow up...but the trip is well worth it, and we do our best to celebrate each passing moment. It's a privilege and a joy watching our little girls grow up closer and closer to womanhood. It's happening much too fast...but we are enjoying the ride!


I love this picture and had to add it. This is the view from my hospital room the day after Brylee was born. We had the first big storm of the season the night she was born. (I hope we don't get snow tomorrow night.)
