Laney is ONE!

Laney turned 1 on September 7th! It is crazy how fast things go by when you are having fun. It is crazy to think that one year ago I was crying all of the time because she was always sleeping and I was so worried..... now this little one is non-stop! She is the sweetest little thing, and the biggest delight in our lives. I never imagined how much love, and joy one so small could bring into our lives.
If I was to make a list of the perfect baby....... my list would not of even touched what this little girl is. Really the Lord has blessed our family with her and we are so grateful for that!
Laney's milestones/talents so far:
-words: mama, Dada, puppy, baby, shoe, slide, by, no, ball
-12 teeth! (@ her parties she was cutting 4 molars so she was not a happy camper!)
-she loves to twirl and dance
-walking (10 months!!!)
-she loves to play with laundry..... really any laundry
-still no milk
-all the motions to patty-cake:roll it, pull it etc.
-loves the popcorn popping on the tree song
-sleeping though the night @ around 10-11 months (thanks to bumper pads I think!)
-stairs/up and down
-She likes to hold our "hands" (finger) as we walk together (love that one!)
-really she has so many "talents".... what should I put and what should I not put? Let's just say that all she has to do is look at us and we are proud parents! So I guess I can stop here before I brag to much! (What can I say, really I am one proud mom!)
Her 1 year doc appointment stats are:
-height 29 inches 55 percentile
-weight 20.4 50 percentile
-head.... don't remember the size but it is in the 95 percentile!
Well below are some pictures of her birthday parties. Thank you to those who came and supported her on her big day! We are so grateful for our family and friends..... Thank you! The pics are in no special order, enjoy!
She had a ladybug birthday theme!
The kids loved the Pinata! (So did some of the adults :) !)

Molly (the pinata was a strawberry cause they were out of the ladybug ones.... so pretend there is black spots, legs and eyes...etc!)

My sister has a friend who does cakes professionally..... This is one that she did for me! It was so cute and so yummy too! Thanks Cindy.

Sharing a swing with Ellie.


Some of the friends at the party!!!!

She loved the bags.... probably cause it has handles like her puppy purse!

Eating her yummy cake!

Not so happy!




Our friend Lindsey Myers does cakes for a hobby and made this super cute/delicious cake for one of Laney's parties! Thanks so much Lindsey!

On Friday we are getting her 1 year pictures taken from Target and in a week are getting our family pictures taken and some more 1 year photos taken from our friend Nicole.... So stay tuned to see them!!!!!

Laney is so cute! Looks like fun parties! I can't wait to see her again. I hope she can come to our next lunch get together. Why do you think the bumper pads helped her sleep? I'm thinking Cooper might need some so he won't keep banging his head on the side and waking himself up.
