Happy 1st Birthday Hope!
This pictures sums up Hope-a smile on her face, baby in hand and walking solo.
Hopes birthday party date/time changed so many times I can't even remember. Gigi wasn't doing to well and was in and out of the hospital and a rehabilitation centers. We ended up deciding on Holman Gardens out on the patio with her dedication.
All 3 babies dedicated by Pastor Jerry. What a blessing and a huge responsibility!
Hope loved her gifts, especially the baby Gigi got her:).
We then headed down to Sunnyside for Alyssa's wedding.
Here's our cousin clan currently.
Aunt Tiff is always so thoughtful! She bought Lou Lou her own cupcake. I'd say she enjoyed it!
Presents
Smothered!
Hope is an official walker! She is taking more and more steps every day. I counted 16 last night!
She walks, climbs and gets into mischief often!
She's always doing downward dog!
You know it's your 3rd baby when you had her the bottle to drink herself:).
She found sisters water bottle:).
Hudson, let me see.
Hmm what's in here?
I know you said to not run mom but here I go!
"Lou Lou, come back here!"
Hope also loves to eat rocks. Yuck! She eats everything. I have to watch her like a haak!
Hope loves food and eats everything we give her. She drinks her milk most of the time with dinner and has a tendency to throw food when she's done:(.
She's done with the bottle officially! It was a quick transition and she loves her sippys!
Hope finally came out of the closet. She was turning the lights on and off in closet and I was done. She needed her space:). Happy Lou Lou in her big girl room.
Hope competes for noise and attention with her siblings.
I honestly cant tell if she's upset about somethings or just being 1 years old!
She's still not a snuggler still unless she's super tired. Then the thumb goes in her mouth and sometimes the head on your shoulder.
Hope gets very upset if she's reprimanded. She will cry if she is told "no" or reprimanded for throwing food. She does cry if she can't go where her siblings are going.
Hope loves the lake
Hope loves her siblings and babies the most:).
Words-
Baby
Mama
Papa

Happy 1st Birthday Hope Louise! You are a beautiful addition to our family. I can't believe how fun you are! Quiet, patient, observant, inquisitive and the on-the-go baby. You make days a joy. Except for the teething and sleepless month we've had. No worries, I still love you and drink lots of coffee these days:).
