Sweet girl

Belle is my little helper these days and she is always so sweet about it. She still loves to clean with me and shop with me and anytime I have a "project" she is right there beside me, wanting to help.

Yesterday we had some time in the afternoon to go shopping and I told her when we got home I would show her how to make a crown out of flowers... that got her attention.

Anyway, we had fun sitting in the sun and she felt like a fairy princess when it was complete. Funny how something so simple and free can create such sweet and lasting memories!

Happy First Birthday to Our Baby...

It's true, she is no longer zero years old...

I don't know what happened to this past year but it has FLOWN!

Now she is taking steps, talking all the time, playing with her big brother and sister, and developing a bit of a "1 year old attitude"!

She ALWAYS wants to be in on the action and is scared of nothing. She no longer is happy with just sitting back and watching.She claps, sings and loves to read books in our laps. She can out-eat all of us (except for Daddy, maybe) and she always wakes up bouncing (literally) and laughing.

She is finally making it through Bible class without crying for mama (2 weeks now, yay!!). Although, I can't say I didn't secretly like that, a little;)

She still is pretty serious when other people try to make her smile. She looks at them like they are crazy... but Cashe just has to say "hi" to her and she cracks up!Piper, we love you soooo much and we have had the best year getting to know you! God has trully blessed our family with you and we can't wait to see what He has in store for your future. Stay sweet, little one...
