A Winter ONEderland!

Its hard to believe she's already one.  As we were preparing to celebrate this milestone in Lily's life, I found myself overwhelmed with happiness & sadness at the same time.  My very last baby is growing up!  It's all I can do to love & cuddle on her as much as I can because time is going WAY. TO. FAST!!!

So our day started off with a few doctor visits.  The first visit was to the ENT.  Yes, she will be getting tubes due to the many ear infections she's experienced over the last few months.  Hopefully we will find out tomorrow if she can get them this week!  After the ENT we headed to our favorite pediatrician's office.  Our birthday girl weighed in at 19 pounds 11 ounces and was 29 1/2 inches long.  Everything checked out and as much as we love Dr. Coco, we hope once she gets her tubes she is much healthier and we don't have to make as many visits!

Later that day we came back home & had our first birthday present waiting from Uncle Keith, Aunt Amy, Lauren and Lyndsie.  What girl would LOVE a light up pillow pet?!?!

Once we got settled in it was time to start preparing for the party.  Mom and Caleb were busy making cookies while I was decorating the house, which I forgot to take pictures of... FAIL!!

The next day our little snowflake was ready to party!  We decided to keep it small and low key this year so we could just enjoy Lily and her day.  We still had a ton of delicious food; courtesy of Grandma, Papa & Nana and yummy cupcakes from SmallCakes! 

Lily loved her cake, presents and all of the attention that she was getting.  I would say overall her favorite part of the day was the cake!:-)

Out guests were such good sports and participated in a silly little photo op for her scrapbook!

And the best gift of all... Lily got to meet her bestie for the very first time!  We were so excited that Ninnie, Jae-Jae & sweet baby Alyssa were able to make it to the party!

 

A year has gone by why too quickly for this Momma!  I'm excited to see what the next year brings, but I want time to slow down some, my little loves are growing up way too fast!  

Happy 1st Birthday, Lillian Harper!  You have brought so much love and joy to our hearts.  We thank God everyday for you and as your big brother would say, "We love you to the moon and back times infinity!"
