Thank you! We are having a party next weekend when family can come, so I will post pictures of the party then. Today, we went to church and now Lauren is in her crib (not asleep, but supposed to be!). We plan to get outside today and maybe a little Christmas shopping and just enjoy a beautiful day with our one year old!

It is so hard for me to believe Lauren is one. This time last year, we were in the middle of a blizzard! Today, it is 65 degrees.

Lauren has 8 teeth now and is running all over the place. She pretty much went from crawling to running. She is sleeping 6-8 hours at a time (this is quite an accomplishment for my non-sleeper!). And, she takes one three hour nap during the day. She says Daddy, Momma, and Bye. And, she can sign milk. She is a little girl- still in her 6-12 month clothes for the most part.

I am so sad and so happy that Lauren is growing up. I really miss those newborn days. Well, what I can remember of them! I was so amazed by my precious 6 lb. 12 oz., 20 inches little girl. But, I think I might be even more amazed by my one year old.

Here are two pictures. Lauren is one week old in the first and almost one year old in the second.

Happy Birthday sweetheart!!! Lana, I cannot believe Lauren is a year old already.. how time flies. I hope you have a wonderful party next weekend.. it was gorgeous today, almost warm in the afternoon.. i am sure you had a great day.
It is bittersweet, this first birthday.. I understand exactly what you must be feeling. How do our babies grow up so fast? It is a miracle right in front of our very eyes!

Big hugs to you Lana and kisses to sweet Lauren from Leela and me. Happy Birthday!!!!

she's as cute now as she was then. Congratulations Mama, and happy birthday Lauren!

It is so bittersweet, isn't it? Each day when I lay Finn down to change his diaper I look at him and notice how much bigger he seems than the day before! (oh, that sounded funny...you know when I say he seems big, I mean him and not "it" ;) )
