The First Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness the fact that our baby girl is not a baby anymore, but now considered a toddler blows my mind.  I know her birthday was last saturday, but we have had a crazy week so finally just getting around her birthday post almost one week later.  On our way to dinner tonight I was telling Mark that I can't beleive we did it and she is some what normal hahahaha.  I remember the first day we brough her home.  There is video footage of what nervous parents Mark and I were.  Lanie had a little poo so we changed her diaper and like any first time parents we were ready to video tape anything and everything.  Looking back on that video I crack up because it took me forever to change her diaper.  Now its like a contest to see how quick I can get it done before she wiggles off the changing table.  God blessed us with this beautiful baby girl that we named Lanie and I had no idea how much joy she would bring to our family.

Love at first sight (look at my huge feet)



This year has been full of laughs, tears, and smiles. I feel like I have learned so much during this first year of being a Mom, but then on the other hand I feel like I have learned hardly anything. I still have about a million questions and I am always wondering if I am being a good enough mom, is Lanie getting enough milk, did she eat enough fruit, when did she have a bath, why won't she sit down in the tub, the questions could go on and on, but there is one thing I know for sure Mark and I love this little bug so much and are thankful everyday that God gave us the chance to be her parents :)
Now onto some pictures from the party!!!!!!!!!!!!












She thinks she is big stuff in her chair now!

That is about as messy as she got!
