Happy Birthday, sweet girl!

As of 12:24 this afternoon, Piper is officially a year old. It is an absolutely beautiful day here in Nashville today, much nicer than I remember the weather being last year on this day. Piper had a wonderful morning playing and then had her doctor's appointment. My little munchkin is still small and mighty!

Weight: 18.6 lbs (10th percentile)

Height: 28.5 inches (32nd percentile)

I promise to do a sappy one-year post, but that's not going to happy today (or tomorrow, or probably not until her party is over and done with, for that matter). But here are some pictures from a little birthday photo session I tried to have with her. Piper is becoming more and more difficult to photograph because she simply won't stay still! I guess I'm going to have to enlist the help of the professionals if I want some decent pictures.

Josh and I can't wait to celebrate this weekend with family and friends!

It's been a year already?

Hooray!

It's my birthday!

Play ball!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We are indeed blessed to share this day of love with Piper for the first time. She received several cards in the mail and even some little valentines from friends at day care. She is definitely loved!

Snow Day

Piper and I were stuck inside all day yesterday. She is coming down with another cold, and it snowed (again!). We didn't get too much snow, but what we got made the roads very nasty, all during rush hour. It took Josh over two hours to get home from work!

Have I mentioned that this girl will eat just about everything?!

How big is Piper?

She's started playing quite a bit in her bed before she falls asleep for naps. On Monday I came in to find this nice little pile of blankets/clothes outside her crib. The quilt had been sitting on top of the hamper, and the beige towel was inside the hamper (I must have left a corner hanging out). Also in the pile are her lovey and socks.

Such a neat little pile!

Having fun!

Two of Piper's favorite things these days are walking behind her push toys and chasing McKenna. She's in heaven when these activities go hand in hand.
