Baby Collette, my little ladybug, little mamma, sister.... these are just a few of the names that this little lady is known by. I can't believe that a year of her life has already flown by and yet it's crazy to think that just a year ago she wasn't part of our family. I can't imagine life without her.
We decided for her birthday we'd keep things pretty low key. Tyler was out of town until late in the afternoon so when she woke up, Owen and I sang to her.
Owen then proceeded to open a few of her presents while she was happy just playing with the balloons I had blown up for her.
We had some strawberry pancakes for breakfast and then headed to the pool to celebrate with some cupcakes and some friends.
That night we decided to invite a couple other friends over for some cake and ice cream.
She LOVED her cake. Until it got all over her hands, then she wasn't sure whether or not it was something she was into.
A few things about our little baby Coley:
1. She stands on her own and claps for herself nearly every time. Still not super interested in walking but she will now take your hand and walk with you.
2. She says ball, that, and snack (in a language only her parents and Owen can understand)
3. Her favorite toy is a ball, anytime. We got her a few little dolls and a princess tea set but she'll choose a ball to play with over all of those any day. Don't tell Owen this but she is also has a much better arm than he does.
4. She is a fantastic eater. Anything you put in front of her, she'll eat.
5. She loves to draw. Or just loves to stand at Owen's craft table and pretend to draw.
6. Nothing makes her happier than this:
Yes, still a thumb sucker and won't let that blanket out of her sight.
7. She LOVES Owen. Still laughs at everything he does and follows him around everywhere.
8. She loves shoes. Already at this age, she will go to her closet, pick out a pair and want me to put them on her feet. Which is weird because I never put shoes on her feet otherwise.
9. She's a mamma's girl. That makes me really happy.
10. She is the happiest little girl. She cries very rarely and is so quick to smile all the time.
We love this little girl and are so thankful she is part of our family! Happy Birthday little lady!
