Little Sissy's First

Sissy turned one last month and the boys wanted to do her whole party- so here are the extensive decorations:

 Carter helped me make the cake and chose the colors for the frosting.


Birthday girl ready to partay!
  


She's not quite sure about the candle.. or the singing


She jumped right in. Let's be honest, she is no stranger to sugary treats. 




She didn't eat much- but had so much fun playing.


Lots of helpers with the presents.

Lucky girl with two new pairs of sunglasses, lots of toys, dress up butterfly costume, books, clothes and shoes... everything a little girl could want. 

Sticky girl with her new shades

Afton and Ashlynn- she just won't sit still for a picture with her best friend. 

Sissy showing her teeth in her new swim shirt and board shorts. 

Lately Sis loves to go into Brothers room and sit in the sock and underwear basket. I don't know why,  but she loves it here and when I can't find her this is the first place to look. And, yes, she wears her brothers old PJ's. 

Fun things about Sissy at ONE year:
We call her Sissy most of the time- could you guess? And lots of people now call her Sissy too. Which is fine since her two future best friends are named Ashlynn and Aspen.
 She is 20 pounds and 5 ounces at her check up. And 29 inches tall... the smallest of my babies.
She loves her brothers and follows them around constantly. She does not want to be left out of the action. She loves being outside in the sand and the garden. She loves her mama and she gets so excited when Daddy comes home and RUNS to greet him. Yes, she will throw a fit if she is not the first one he kisses and holds  (there is a Daddy Greeting Line at our house-- it's one thing in the day we ALL look forward to.) She has been such a delightful little lady. Great sleeper, good eater, happy as long as she is held, cuddly and sweet. We love you, Sissy, and so glad you are in our family.


Here are my favorite pictures of her in her Easter dress at almost 1 year old










And more for me than any of you, some of my favorites from her first year of life:
What a perfect, healthy little girl.

Happy Birthday, Dad.

Ready for boating 
We went almost every week-- she seemed to love the rocking of the boat which lulled her to sleep
