Happy Birthday Simone

Happy Birthday to our sweet Simone. I can't believe this day is here. This year has gone by so quickly. I remember how tiny you were on the day you were born, and how wonderful it felt to hold you. You are such a sweet little baby. We love having you as a part of our family!

At a year old...
You love music, and you "sing" along and nod your head. It is so cute!

You love your Mom. Too much. Lately you won't let anyone except your Mommy and Daddy hold you.

You also love your brother and sister. They can always get you to smile. They love to help me take care of you.

You love the new Gerber yogurt puffs....you go nuts if you see the bag. If you are crying, I can give you one and you will STOP immediately.

You love to play with my "bliss" necklace while I hold you. You broke it a few weeks ago. =( You are tiny, but you are strong!

You love to sleep with a little doll or a stuffed animal. No binky for you...you want something to cuddle.

You are crawling, and love to cruise on the couch. Lately you try to stand on your own, and fall. You know how to climb the stairs now.

You still don't sleep through the night. You keep getting sick. You were sleeping so well, and did it a total of FOUR nights. That means I have had four good nights of sleep in a year.

I wasn't watching you closely, and you ate a dead bug out of the track of the door. You also ate a paint brush covered in paint because I was busy texting two feet away from you. You got paint on the carpet, and it was all over your teeth- I wish I would have taken a picture. (I didn't put that brush there...nor did I know it was there!)


Here is how Simone spent some of her day.

Playing in the cabniets while I made little cakes.

A nice birthday bath.

Time for cake!

She loved it!

Happy Birthday Baby! We love you Simone!
