My little Brooklyn

Sunday Brooklyn turned 1! We had a great day of watching conference and spending time with my family. After the party we had a big sleepover with my whole family, aunt and my brothers friend. It was a lot of fun! I am glad her first birthday landed on a Sunday so we could just stay home and be together!

I have been really sad that my little baby was turning 1. The time has gone too fast. I feel like I want each stage to last longer. As I was picking pictures for this post, it took me back to remembering Brooklyn so young. I loved the newborn stage and each stage that came after. She has been to greatest blessing in our life. I am so humbled and grateful to my Father in Heaven for trusting Wade and I in guiding and leading her back to Him. I could not have hand picked a better little girl. She has been so sweet since the moment she entered my life. I have never in her life had a day that has been hard. I know I am so blessed to have an easy child. She has been calm, fun and so easy going. She has taught me so much. She has also strengthened my companionship with Wade. I love what she brings to our family and I love the person she is becoming. I am so proud with how smart she is already. I love her giggle and her random noises. I love when she has me chase her around and she just laughs. I love when she wakes up and is all puffy like her dad. I love when she tries to copy the things I do or say. She dances so cute to music or to the tv noise. I love when she eats her toes and the face she makes when you tickle her. I love to dress her! I think I do a pretty good job in that area:) I love how happy she is all the time, rarely is she unhappy or in a bad mood. She is so social and fun. I love watching her interact with strangers or with other little kids. She lives for making friends all ready. I love to be around her and to spend my days with her. I hope and pray that we always remain close. I am SO in love with this little girl and I would feel ungrateful if I didn't thank my Heavenly Father for the greatest gift He has ever given me. Her dad and I are so tremendously blessed.

Brooklyn has always laid with her dad as he listened to the Giants game on the radio. She now loves to watch the Giants on tv.




Hope you enjoyed my trip down memory lane.

Looks like she had a great first birthday. Glad all went well and you were able to have so much family come. Isnt it crazy to see how much they change in the first year. I feel like I will appreciate each stage more with the second cause I now know how fast it will go by. Before you know it they just yell at you all day!!!
