Lilly is One!!!

My sweetest Lilly girl!!

How are you already one? One one hand is seems like this year flew by, one the other hand I can't imagine our lives without you so it feels like we have had you forever! Oh you are the sweetest little thing I could eat you up!! I love you so much, I melt when I see your sweet little face and smile! You are a whole lot of woman wrapped up in a tiny little ball! Who knew a 16lb  tiny little doll had so much personality! And to think I though you were going to be the calm mellow one... you have proved me wrong! You are a girl on a mission and I love it. So determined and focused to get what you need! I know now it is tough for a one year old to be so focused and strong willed but it will be to your advantage one day and I know you will channel it to your favor and accomplish amazing things!! You may be tiny but you are fierce! When you had rsv and had to be suctioned the nurse thought she could hold you down her self because you are so tiny but boy did you prove her wrong! They needed two strong nurses to keep you down! Now they all know you as the tiny yet fierce one! You are 16lbs (1%) in the 15% for height and 6% for your head! My tiny girl! You are one busy baby! Always on the move and wanting to be big!! You are the fastest crawler alive and have officially been crawling half your life. I though for sure you would walk by now but I think you are so fast and good at crawling the walking would slow you down! You love to be wild and play with your sister! You guys are so cute tougher and you adore her! You do get frustrated at times because you want to be bigger and do what she does but that day will come so fast so just be my tiny baby for now! We love getting you up in the morning and seeing you hop and flip around in your crib with your wild hair! Oh that hair!! It is a show stopper! So thick and long, its amazing! You have mastered your walker which you love ( you even let Elsie drag you around on it while you hang on tight to the handle bar), you can crawl down stairs, you love going up stairs, you only get table food and love mac and cheese, strawberries, yogurt, chicken and broccoli! You can say mamma ( i love to her you roam the house saying mama, mama), dada, uh-oh, baba, dis (this), and bark like a doggie, and you may say sissy sometimes! You are good to go to really anyone but in time of distress only your mama will do! You love to go into the office and get wild and crazy on the art table and start chucking things around! You also love to do this with the little toy bins in the family room! You are such a social little thing like your sister and love other babies (you love to steal their binkis too) You are a smart little thing and pick up on things so fast!! You also get really shy too sometimes and it is so cute! You love to smile and can be such a ham, then you get all shy and hide in my shoulder and duck your head down! Its my favorite! We love you so much! You are our little bundle of joy and we can't imagine our lives without your sweetest smile that lights up a room! I am so proud of you and see so many amazing qualities that I know you have been blessed with! You will do great things in your life and I hope you always remember how sweet you are and how much your Daddy, sister and I love you!
