Elle turns 1

How, oh how, is it possible that it has already been a year since my baby was born!? I can't believe a year ago today I was in the hospital with my 6 lb. 14 oz. baby and now she is closer to 20 lbs. This year has been challenging, fun, and fast. I feel lucky to be Elle's mom and I can't wait to continue to watch her grow and change. She has kept me sane on those potty training days and other days that Amber has been hard or I have been down. I sure do love her and am glad that she is my daughter. Enjoy the pictures and the video (sorry it's long).

Oh she is so sweet! I love how kids want the paper the present came in more then they want the toy. It is so funny to me! Happy Birthday Sweet girl!

I thought of that little birthday girl all day today. She is such a cutie. I always have loved that close up of her face on her blessing day.

I sense a sports scholarship in her future. Baby was nice, but boy did she LOVE that ball! Happy birthday Elle!

Haha... for some reason the baby falling out of the wrapping paper made me chuckle.

Clearly she hasn't quite developed her unwrapping skills, but those will come soon enough I'm sure.

She is such a cute kid! I can't believe she's a year.

I also can't believe that a year has come and gone! Wow! I just love her personality and can't wait to see it continue to come out as she gets older!
