My little baby is 1! I know everybody says that they can't believe it went so fast but it is totally true. It feels like yesterday that I was pregnant with her. She is the light of our lives and has been the biggest blessing. I could go on and on about how much I love her but that would take too long so I will get on with it. First of all we had her 12 month check up today and here are her stats...
Weight: 20 lbs 3 oz - 40%
Height: 30.8 inches - 95%
Head: 17.6 inches - 40%
She is SO tall! I am not sure where she gets it cause I am not super tall and we all know that Jeff is not tall ;). She is not walking yet but is super close. She took 5 steps today but is pretty cautious about it still. She has 8 teeth, 4 on top and 4 on bottom but the Dr said her molars are close :(. Teething is the worst! She jibber jabbers all day long and everything is "da da". She used to say "mama" too but now it is all "da da". She also says "wasat" (what's that?) as she points to things all day long. And her other favorite word is "bee" for her binky. Every time she finds her binky or drops it or wants it she will look at me and say "bee". She is a great eater and loves pretty much anything we give her but her favorites are string cheese, bananas, and mac n' cheese. She is probably the funniest little thing you have ever seen (at least we think so but I am sure you all feel that way about your little ones!) She makes the funniest faces like the one in the pic above. And she has the cutest little high pitched laugh, I could listen to it all day long! This is my favorite age thus far because she is so active and understand what you are doing and saying. She really is the best! Anyways... Her birthday is the 8th but we had a party for her the Friday before. Both our families came over and we had a Candy themed party. It was so much fun!
Here are her invitations. They are supposed to be like Lollipops.
The Candy Buffet. (sorry all of the below pics look like they are tinted pink. I was playing with my camera a couple of days before and didn't change it back to normal!)
Her cake that was supposed to look like a giant cupcake but fell apart so I am not sure what it looks like! But it tasted good...
The cupcakes
Decorations
I found these on a blog and thought they were so cute. They are just a chinese lantern wrapped in cellophane too look like a candy.
Front door sign. It says "Hazyl's Sweet Shop" but it is hard to read from the flash.

I just put this pic in cause I love her smile! She loved hitting the lanterns!
The party was so fun and we are so grateful to our friends and family who came. We have so much candy left over and I am not sure what to do with it! I really hope this year will slow down a little bit so I can soak up the time with my little girl but I am sure it wont. She really is everything to Jeff and I. Before we go to bed we always find ourselves talking about all the funny and cute things that she did that day. We love you Hazyl Mae and cant wait to see what this new year of your life will bring!
