Happy 1st Birthday

Henley,

It is hard to believe that 1 year ago you were born. You bring us such joy and make us smile each and everyday.  We love to watch you learn new things and reach new milestones. It has been an exciting and fun 1st year. You have learned to smile, laugh, hold your head up, roll over, crawl, walk, beg, pout, dance, hold your bottle, drink from a sippy cup, eat solid foods, feed yourself, push buttons, turn book pages, turn on the iPhone, catch a ball and the list goes on and on. You are so smart and learn things so quickly. Words can't describe how much your Mom and Dad love you.

Happy 1st Birthday!
Love, Mom and Dad

There were so many good pictures from the birthday weekend that I just had to add more.

1st Birthday Party

It is hard to believe that its already time to celebrate our baby turning 1. We had Henley's 1st birthday party this past weekend. Family from both sides celebrated with us and showered Henley with gifts. April did a fabulous job with the decorations and had 2 special cakes and cupcakes made. Henley had her own matching "smash cake". In true princess fashion, Henley had 3 outfits that she mixed in throughout the day. It was a great day and Henley loved the attention.

11 Months

Henley is now 11 months old. Wow, how time flies. I can't believe my baby is almost a year old. Her personality is really starting to come out. She is such a happy girl unless she misses a nap or is hungry, which she gets honest. ;-) April and I have both have commented how she is no longer a baby anymore but a little girl. She loves music and to dance. She will jibber jabber, and laugh, and point, and get into everything. She has even figured out how to start the iPod (music) from the home screen on our iPhones. These moments are so much fun and we are soaking up every minute.

She now has 3 teeth, 1 on the top and 2 on the bottom. It looks likes a 2nd top tooth has started to come through as well. She is doing excellent with her walking. She can walk from one end of our house to the other end without any help. In fact, because she is walking so well, today was probably her last day in the "baby nursery" at church. She is ready to move up to the 1 year old room...a month early - (tear from Mom).

We are excited to celebrate her 1st birthday next month. We are so proud of her and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us.
