Happy First Birthday, Lillian!

We are in love with our sweet girl.  This year her giggles and smiles have brought us so much happiness.  Here are some of our favorite things about Baby Lil:

1. She is learning to talk.  As of her first birthday, she can say the following words:

• Dada
• Mama
• Stockton
• Sorry, Logan, she can't say your name.  She calls you Dada.
• Grandpa
• Again, sorry Grandma, she calls you Grandpa
• Bow bow
• Uh-oh
• Bye-bye

2. She also gives friendly waves hello and good-bye.  

3. She catches the eye of any stranger at church or in the store, puts on her biggest smile, and shrugs her shoulder up to one side.

4. She doesn't rip books, she is very dainty when she handles things.

5. She has two cute bottom teeth.

6. Her hair has a darling curl in the back.

7. She has a tender heart - actually, she is extremely sensitive.  If someone takes her toy, she collapses into very sad sobs and sprawls her body out on the ground while she cries.  We haven't figured out what to do about this yet.

8.  She still gives long cuddly snuggles when she wakes up.  When she greets someone, she'll pull them in for a big hug and nestle her head in their neck.

9.  She is so sweet and affectionate with her family.  Her disposition has been so gentle and happy.

10.  She loves taking baths in the sink. 

Happy Birthday, our sweet girl.  We love you so much.
