Happy happy birthday my sweet girl! We are so excited to celebrate this last year that we had with you. I woke up the morning of your birthday with memories in my head of the previous year. We had you induced and I was so nervous that morning, but at the same time I was so anxious to meet you. You have been such a joy and a teacher of patience in our lives! I've learned a lot of patience with you throughout this last year, with your colic as a newborn, all of your colds and sinus infections in the first 3 months, teaching you to sleep through the night, which took a good two or three months, I think, your angry scream and your constant need of attention and entertainment. But you are worth every bit of it, my dear! You have such a sweet disposition and like I have said time and time again, your smile can light up a crowd. Your giggle and your silly sounds and facial expressions always keep us laughing. You are so curious and are so busy! I think you became a much happier baby once you became mobile and definitely when you learned to walk. You have always been on the go and are always keeping me on my toes. You have dealt with Kinley pretty well while she has learned to be a big sister. We still have a ways to go, and I'm sorry she is so mean sometimes. Dad and I definitely feel for you because we are both 2nd children. But you still love to play and interact with Kinley. I hope that continues to be the case and you and Kinley can learn to be great friends, that is one of my greatest hopes and wishes for the two of you. Let's get to some stats:
-You weigh 18.5 lbs
-You are 28 inches long
-You have 5 teeth (2 center top teeth, 2 center bottom teeth and one molar on the top right side)
-You are currently allergic to strawberries
-Totally weaned from formula and are loving warm, whole milk
-You love any and all kinds of foods, except avocado
-Walking full time at about 11 months and one week
We spent your birthday celebrating with a wonderful visit from Nama and Papa. We took a drive to Murray to the historic Wheeler Farms where we walked saw some farm animals and had a fun little photo shoot with you. Then we headed back to Heber for dinner at the Ranch House Grill, which was so good, but I will admit, I think we had a little more fun there then you did. You were a little anxious to get home. Probably to your chocolate cupcakes. We got home and quickly delve in to the cupcakes, quite literally for you, Miss Haley. You LOVED the cupcake, and it's safe to say you are a fan of chocolate just like mommy, and let's be real, most women out there.
We love you more than you know Haley Elizabeth. You really have been such a joy and the perfect addition to our growing family. We can't wait to see what this next year has in store for you and we are so excited to see more of your personality come through.
Love you Haley Lou
Love, Mom
