Anareese Turns One

You were born on October 1, 2010 and you weighed 6 pounds, 8 ounces, and were 19 1/4 inches long.

You were born in Charleston, West Virginia at Women and Children's Hospital and delivered by  our good friend Dr. Paul Dietz.

You now weigh 16 pounds, 12 ounces and are 26 1/4 inches long.

You have learned to make your way along the furniture and have recently started exploring everything that is on your level or remotely close.  

You love to laugh and are always trying to make people laugh at you.  

You love to blow raspberries and do so whenever anyone looks your way.

You don't have a favorite food (which is the problem), but you have started eating 

mashed potatoes, green olives and a few other things occasionally.

You love it when your big brother and sisters play with you.

Your smile is so big and bright it makes everyone around you smile too!

You are always on the move and love to follow around behind Mama.

Your favorite words (and only words) are "dada" and "hi", still no "mama" yet.

   

 You have already visited Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

You had your first plane ride when you were 9 months old.

You love to play with your toy house and kitchen.

Your favorite game is peek-a-boo.

You love it when I sing your special song so you can sing along with me.

You bring so much joy to this family, we are so blessed to have you in our lives!

Happy First Birthday Sweet Baby Girl!
