Brynlee's 1st Birthday!!

We celebrated Brynlee's 1st birthday a few days ago. It was so much fun! This little girl has been such a joy and wonderful addition to our family. She is a very happy little thing, giving smiles to anyone who will look at her. She is also very tender hearted and cries anytime you look at her wrong or anytime you tell her no, and it is the saddest little cry. She just comes up to you and wants to be held. So sweet and melts my heart every time. She loves her brother tons and they play nicely together most of the time. He likes to grab her toys sometimes, and it is pretty funny how feisty and mad Brynlee gets. When he takes a toy from her she swats her hands around trying to defend herself  and screams like crazy.

She isn't walking yet, just crawling. She does like to pull herself onto things though. She LOVES to eat anything and everything. She is a very chunky little thing.

A few words she says are: Hi, Bye, Mom, Dad, Thank you, uh-oh, nana, night night, and she loves to blow kisses.

She is truly a joy and I can't believe that she is already 1!! I never thought we would make it through the first year!! We did it and looking back, it was hard, but not that bad. I actually think that this next year will be harder because now they can play off of each other and get into trouble together.

Happy Birthday sweet girl!!

 Opening presents. She sure loved the paper!!

Opening the big present. The big kids were just as excited and wanted to check it out more than little Bryn did. They totally crowded her out of it. Luckily she didn't care to much.

 Here she is with her cake. She was a funny one. We thought that she would be all about making a mess with the cake and eating it all up, but out of all of our kids, she was the one who didn't want to touch it at all and didn't want a single bite of it either. We were totally shocked. I even put her hand in it to help her out and she just started to cry. Apparently she doesn't like cake. What a funny little girl.
