My Littlest Princess is ONE!!

It's hard to believe our baby girl is 1 year old already!! It feels like just yesterday, we found out I was 17 weeks pregnant, 2 weeks later we found out we were having a baby girl, and 5 months after that she was born!! She has been such a blessing to our family.

She keeps herself busy crawling all over the place, she likes to pull up and stand (and lets go while she stands), and she LOVES watching her big brother and big sister. She is such a happy and mellow baby. And she is so darn cute!!

We had such a busy day yesterday, I don't even know how we fit everything in. On the go from morning until after bedtime!! But, it was a very family fun day.

Pictures from her birthday...

We started the day with her 12 month check-up.
The doctor said she looks perfect!!
She is an itty-bitty girl weighing only 18 pounds and 28 inches tall.

After her doctor's appointment, we went to our weekly playgroup.
We brought cookies to share with all her little friends
to celebrate her birthday!!

Sisters having snack together!!


After our Little Sprouts Playgroup, we went to Build-A-Bear.
I gave Lauren several choices to pick from, and this was the one she loved!!

All stuffed and ready for her hug!!

After Build-A-Bear, Daddy met us for lunch then we headed to the park to have cake!
Lauren wasn't really interested in the cake. Not even sure if she even had a bite.

However, she did get messy (thanks to daddy).

This little girl loves swings!!
I think her mouth was wide open with excitement the whole time!!

While waiting on Daddy and big brother finish baseball practice
(before we headed to the San Jose Giants baseball game - minor league team).

After a long day, she was wiped out. She fell asleep at the end of the game,
and slept the whole way home. I think she had a good day!!

Since yesterday was so busy, Lauren opened her presents this morning.
Grandma mailed her a birthday package and inside was this cute book!!

Opening Grandma's other present.

She really likes her new phone from Grandma!!
Thanks, Grandma for all my new stuff -
the book, phone, clothes, Dora ride-on, popper, and school bus!!

Our FIRST Butterfly!!

We woke up this morning to our first butterfly!! (it probably came out yesterday, but we didn't notice it until this morning). There is also another one starting to hatch!! The kids were excited to see this all happening. Now we anxiously await for the other 8 butterflies!! :-)

Live Butterfly Garden - DAY 15

It's been a few days since I've posted about our butterflies. They are now moved into their habitat net, after all 10 made their chrysalis a few days ago. Now we wait for the next big change. Probably won't update again until that happens, because I don't think much will be changing.
