Anna's First Birthday

It is so hard for me to believe Anna is already 1!! The past few months have flown by and my baby is now turning into a toddler!  We had a ladybug themed party at Mallie and Dallie's house for our sweet "Anna-bug" as David has named her. Lea flew in town to celebrate with us and I'm so glad we were able to make her first birthday so special! 

Anna-bug, you are the sweetest girl! You are always so smiley and happy, especially first thing in the morning. You love playing with Presley and David and you think you are their age and can do anything they do. You are the best eater!! You love all fruits, ritz crackers, lots of meat, spaghetti, pretty much anything I've tried to give you goes right in and you want more. You love your puff puffs and ask for a "nack" when you wake up from nap. You take one nap a day around 1-3pm.  You sleep 7pm-7am, usually through the night. You still only have the one tooth on the bottom, but we think more are on their way. You weigh 19lbs, 12oz, height is 28.25" and head circumference is 17.99". You are my sweet girl, all the time! You love sitting up and playing with all your toys. You just started crawling the past few days at Mallie's house.  You also love watching TV with David and Pres. We continue to work on you pulling up and practicing walking while holding my hands. You'll get there in your own time. You are extremely laid back, unless you are hungry :) I make sure to pack snacks for you if we go out.  You were nursing 3 times a day right up until your birthday. I just weaned you while we were in Texas still. You still tugged on my shirt most mornings, which broke my heart, but I knew it was time. You were only nursing for a minute or so.   You like to go to bed on time and will rub your eyes right at 7 most nights.  You have the cutest loose curls in your hair, especially after bath time.

Daddy and I love you so much and can't imagine life without you!! You bring us so much happiness!!
 You finally got to enjoy a doughnut with Presley and David.  Now, you don't let us leave you out anymore if we get doughnuts. You enjoyed your first taste and wanted more!!
 Your birthday lunch... ham, cheese and broccoli :)
You don't really like headbands or hats these days.
 Ready for the party!
 You loved the tulle I had decorated on your highchair to make it like a ladybug.
 My happy girl!
 The Lingerfelts, Barkers, Mallie and Dallie and G all came to your party in Texas. We had BBQ, pink lemonade and a pin the dot on the ladybug game for the older kids.
David sampled your cake and you were not too pleased... haha
Happy Birthday, Anna-bug! Love you so much!
