A Whole New Experience.....

Yesterday we went to Hannah's 1 year doctors appointment. It was great because I got to leave work early and go get her, not so great for her because she had to get 3 shots. The doctor says Hannah looks great, here are her stats!
Age: 1 Year
Weight: 23 lbs (75%)
Height: 30 in (75%)
Head: 18 1/2 in (95%)

Hannah is home sick today, she had a bit of a temperature when she woke up this morning, could be a side effect from the shots but if she does have something I don't want her to share it with the other kids at daycare. So her and Daddy are hanging out at home, hopefully packing!!

I cannot believe that it has been a whole year!! Hannah Jane turned 1 year old yesterday!! It is amazing all the things she has accomplished just during her first year and we had a huge Winter One-derland Party to celebrate!

Hannah woke up to lots of snowflakes on the ceiling and a big bright package waiting for her from Mom and Dad. It took her a few minutes to figure out what she was supposed to do with it, but she finally got into it and and found her new chair!!

Grammy was in town helping out, so once we got the chair opened we dug into this nice big bag of pink tissue paper to find Hannah's very first backpack!

We opened a few more gifts, including this fantastic coat from Grandpa and Grandma Nancy, then we relaxed and got ready for the big bash!

So many people came to help us celebrate the big day....fortunately it was a gorgeous day so once everyone arrived we headed outside to destroy a pinata and run around a bit before presents and cake.



Hannah is a very lucky little girl and got so many great presents for her birthday....you can barely see her in all the tissue paper!

A first birthday party would not be complete without a little cake smashing....she started off a little tentatively but once she got a taste of the icing the cake didn't stand a chance!

You also can't have a 1st Birthday without a birthday princess!! Not necessarily the most graceful princess you have ever seen but I might argue she is the cutest!

Anyways, the whole day was fun and flew by, kind of like this last year. Happy Birthday baby girl, we love you so much and can't believe how lucky we are to have you in our lives!

Well these aren't her first steps, but they are her first steps caught on video!!

Our baby is walking...she can now choose how she would like to get around. Chuck and I are slackers and have not gotten this on video but she can walk from the living room to the kitchen if she wants to!! It is so amazing! I love watching her walk, she does look like a mummy when she does it but it is adorable, we clap for her and she smiles!! Only 12 more days and our baby girl will be 1!!!
