Baby's 1st Birthday


Baby is 1! We had a few people over for lunch after church to celebrate. Annalise Joy has truly been a JOY! She is still just as happy, just a lovable, just as sweet. It has been fun to watch her personality emerge. She is such a little lover and snugglebug! And she actually plays with toys! We were surprised. Chloe and Logan didn't show interest in toys until they were older. But she is so quick to figure things out. She can watch Chloe or Logan do something once or twice and then she will do it. And the look of pride and accomplishment on her face- I could watch her all day long!
She signs a little, but not as much as the other 2 did. Instead she uses the words! She has become very chatty and will sit and "talk" with us throughout the day. She is becoming more independent every day! She likes to walk out to the car when we are heading out. And she has learned how to go up and down the stairs. I know most people put up gates and don't let little ones on the stairs. But we taught our kids as soon as they were crawling how to slide down the stairs. Yes, we still use baby gates, but there have been several times that one of the older kids have taken it down and suddenly Baby is downstairs with us.
I love my BabyGirl and could talk about her all day! She is such a sweetheart and we love having her in our family!!!! Happy 1st Birthday, Baby!
