It's official, although we all already knew it . . . I am a slacker! This blog comes up as one of four homepages every time I click on the Internet, which lately is no less than 10 times a day. Yet for some reason, I haven't even considered posting. We're now four months past my last post, which makes this Keely's first birthday post. Yes, I promise to complete this with pictures.
I'm not going to write a long post to tell you everything K has been up to lately. It's most of the same, talking, signing, laughing, singing, crawling, and just generally being a baby. She's gotten so big lately. I weighed myself, picked K up and weighed again holding her, and found that the difference was roughly 19 pounds 5 ounces. Depending upon the accuracy of this, we will be changing car seats from our cute polka-dotted carrier to a big girl seat. I for one am really excited about this transition, as it means I can lower my rearview mirror and see Miss Sunshine in the backseat. Not that she needs to be watched back there, but I just love looking at her adorable face. I want to look at her as much as possible. K is also ready for this transition, because she now cries pretty much every time we put her in her car seat. She gets hot in the car, despite us having the AC all the way up. I guess the air just takes longer to get to her. Makes sense.
It is amazing to me that one year has come and gone with so much as a blink of my eyes. I look at myself and realize I am the mother of a one year old beauty, who lights up my whole existence in ways I never dreamed. She's my shining Star and always will be. Being her mother is my absolute greatest joy. Knowing that God picked her out for Carl and me is the ultimate gift, one that I will always acknowledge and appreciate. I pray God continues to bless our little girl as she continues to grow and develop into the amazing person she's already becoming. I pray this next year is filled with many memories, laughs, and even a few tears. Most of all, I pray Keely remains the happy little peanut she is, love of my life, my little princess, my sweet Keely-kins. May the good Lord always bless you, and may you always know the goodness of His love.
This is from our short trip to Conroe for Nathan and Erin Cooley's wedding on April 3. We had so much fun just being with each other. It was awesome that we got to share Nathan and Erin's special day, too.

This is Keely and Evan and Eleni's baby, Jackson. He's about to turn two on July 30. We set up K's baby pool in the yard last Thursday, and the two of them just had a blast! It was adorable!
And here's the birthday girl destroying her strawberry shortcake cupcake. Happy birthday, sweet peanut! We love you!
