Valentine's Day

Never been a fan of this holiday-way too commercialized for me but when you have a little one who was born on Feb. 12 you can't avoid the holiday hardly. My parents have come in town this weekend for Riley's birthday party and baby dedication at church tomorrow. As I sit here in a quiet house it's hard for me to imagine a year ago today I was bringing home this little person who needed me every minute of every day. Now she is at the mall shopping with Grandpa and Gigi and loving every minute of it.

On Thursday if you even mentioned her name I would start crying, "I can't believe my baby is a year old." People always say that time passes fast so enjoy the phase they are in or you will miss it. OH MY GOSH I MISS IT!!! The phases of life that she has flown through over the past year is unreal. On Thursday at school they had a little birthday party for her and Reagan who were born on the same day. I HATED missing it but she ate it up. When I woke her up that morning she seemed like a whole new little person. I dressed her up in her little v-day party dress and took pictures of her when I dropped her off. Even though she had no idea what was going on, she knew she was the center of attention and that was all that mattered.

During the day they sang "Happy Birthday" to the girls and had cake. When we got home she was so tired but when she woke up all that she could think about was her balloon.

You can't see it but her bloomers have her name on them-so cute!
