The Big ONE!

It's so hard to believe that my sweet baby is ONE! It seems like it was just yesterday that I was holding this tiny baby in the hospital thinking, "Oh my goodness! She's really mine! Now what??"

Over the past year, I have learned so much by being a mommy. It is definitely the most difficult, but most rewarding and amazing job ever. I love watching her grow up into the beautiful little girl she is becoming. Each day, she does something new and I learn something new! At the age of ONE, here are some of her favorite things to do:

• shaking her head no
• dancing and clapping to every song she hears
• pointing at new and interesting things
• walking holding on to anything and everything (and a few steps by herself!)
• playing in the lake, kiddie pool, or any type of water
• Riding on the boat
• playing in Dixie's food and water bowl
• Opening every drawer and cabinet in the house
• Chewing the coffee tables or other wooden pieces of furniture (she's my little beaver)

As you can tell by reading this list, she is definitely very active and keeps me busy! That's one reason I haven't updated this blog in almost a month!
Yesterday, we were able to celebrate her birthday with our closest family and friends. Hanna is such a lucky little girl to have so many people who love her so dearly. She had so much fun playing with all of her friends, and her favorite thing of the entire day..........EATING! I think she ate her weight in pizza and cake. Here are a few pictures of her special day:
