Happy 1st Birthday Ashley!

Ashley celebrated her first birthday today! Today as I reflected back on her first year, I kept thinking to myself how lucky I am to have been blessed with such a sweet, wonderful, loving, vivacious, innocent, explorative, smart, healthy, rambuncous (at times), inquisitive, world embrassing, friendly, intelligent, silly, beautiful little girl who loves to show you things and share with you. God is amazing. I sometimes wonder to myself why he trusted me to raise her, but I selfishly am so glad that he did. She truly is a blessing, she is my JOY! And she is ONE today! We, like any other crazy parents, gave her her very own cake. Be forewarned...about 1 million pictures follow this post. I couldn't help myself...I just had to capture every second of this precious moment!

Ashley's 11th Month

I can't belive it, my little baby is almost a year old. This year has flown by so quickly. It is amazing to think back to when Ashley was first born and how much she depended on Mommy and Daddy to help her do everything. It is amazing to see how much she has changed and grown and how much she can do for herself now. Here are some photos from her 11th month.



She will watch TV sometimes...but only if it is Barney, Finding Nemo, or Johnny and the Sprites.



She loves to read. I think we could give away all her toys and she'd be just fine as long as she had her books to read.




She likes to put things in her bus and then push them around. She is a smart little thing...the other day she pushed her bus up to the couch and climbed on top of her bus and then onto the couch...YIKES!!!

Father's Day

Ashley and Eric celebrated their 1st Father's Day. Ashley loves her daddy so much! When he gets home from work she sprints to him as fast as she can with the biggest smile on her face...it's really cute! She definitely knows who her daddy is...you can ask her, "Where's Daddy?" and she'll point to him....TOO CUTE!
