Little Annie is one year old today! I can't even believe it. Just the thought of it makes my eyes fill with tears. Her first year has gone by so much faster than the other girls. I just want to freeze time and make it slow down. I have loved every minute of being your mother. You have brought me so much joy this last year. If I'm having a bad day which I seem to have often, one look at you and I forget why I'm upset. You are so sweet and laid back. You LOVE to sleep! When you decide you are tired there is no negotiating you are in charge. You still take 2 naps a day which are easily 2 hrs each, thank you! You sleep for 12 hrs at night. We lay you down and you go right to sleep. I think you are our last so I have done my best to take every minute in and try to just enjoy having a little baby. My house is dirtier than  ever  because if I'm not working I'm hanging out with you. You love your sisters and can say Ella but not Rylee. You look exactly like Rylee. In the last 2 months you have become a daddy's girl and anytime he walks into the room you start to pretend to kiss him and smack your lips. You don't do this for me! You were super picky about food but you've gotten really good about trying everything. You do not have a single tooth in your cute little mouth but that doesn't seem to stop you. I have given you foods to eat I would never have given your sisters and they had teeth. You love to take a bath. You pull yourself up oneverything! I think you will be walking soon. Both of your sisters walked at 13 months on the dot, so you should try to beat them! You love to scratch everything with your nails which grow like crazy! I have to cut them 3 times a week, not sure what that's about.  We call you a kitty cat cause you're always scratching stuff. You're my best friend, we can't get enough of each other. You can say momma, Dada, dad, Ella, up above, and eyes. You love to dance and sing. Your are a beautiful happy little girl. Or as i tell you often you are delicious and I can;'t get enough of you. We love you so much. I can't imagine my life without you. You will always be my baby.

Happy Birthday Annie!
