First Birthday for my baby (sniff, sniff)

I know - how lame of a blogger am I, right? Seriously! Looking at the break between my posts is, well, embarrassing. And, sadly, I don't have much of an excuse. But, instead of beating myself up, the best I can do it play 'catch up." So, this is the best place to start, with my little sweetheart, who sadly, is growing up too fast (sniff, sniff).

Little Blythe, you are now 1 year old and breaking your mothers' heart because you are growing up way too quickly. I've enjoyed this last year so much...and not just because we have been hospital free (for the most part) and stable, but because we've been able to have you in our lives, making us smile and laugh and be reminded of what life is all about. You are well loved because you are....


unbelievably adorable (honestly, how cute is that little face?),


even when you're naughty,


or grumpy,

or messy (here she is enjoying her Birthday cake),


or sleepy.

But, you are also well loved because you've made a perfect little place in our hearts that is irreplaceable and we are so glad that you are ours forever. Happy first Birthday, Blythe (on the 12th...oops, I'm a little late), we love you so much.
