Maylee Rose turned a year old. One year full of lots of sleepless nights, sweet smiles, endless car rides echoed with screaming, priceless gazes from those big blue eyes, weight checks, prayers of gratitude, and immeasurable amounts of adoration for this little princess.
She came earlier than expected and a little smaller than we were ready for, but we are oh so grateful she is a part of our little family!
She still adores her brothers and they are SO good with her (most of the time).
We took a trip to San Diego and brought along the little princess since I wasn't quite ready to leave her for a couple days. She was such a trooper and we have a lot of fun together! (A tutu bathing suit....little girls are too much fun!)
She is on the move. She can pull to a stand, cruise the couch, and get down without any problems. She gets stuck in random places, prefers not to crawl on the hard floor, and loves to be chased while standing at the couch. She prefers to sit in a "w" but we are working on it. Apparently she has tight hamstrings...poor girl got my flexibility...or lack thereof! She has just recently started standing with her back against the couch and then leaning forward by herself and stands for a few seconds! They grow and change too fast I tell ya!
Her eyes are still blue...and big...and she loves the bath...
LOVES her silky blanket. She will suck her thumb with any silky, but this is her favorite blankie and she only gets it when she is going to bed. If there is a blanket on the floor and she crawls over it she will stop and take a quick thumb suck like this and then get up and keep going. SO funny!
The child loves Nutella, but then again who doesn't! She is still finicky with her eating, but we are getting there. She is gaining weight so I am not going to complain too much. She still nurses when she goes to sleep, but hopefully we will be ending that some time in the near future (bitter sweet).
We had her birthday party on Saturday with friends and family. I was not quite sure what to do for a one-year-old party, but the company and entertainment was great. Who doesn't love to watch a little girl demolish a cake!
****A BIG thank you to my wonderful friend Savanna for the great pictures of Maylee at her party!****

Well, this is really embarrassing to have to tell you (especially after you've already had the party and all) but I'm pretty sure there is absolutely NO WAY that beautiful baby girl of yours is already a year old. It's just not possible. I'm going to need you to go back and check your math.
Ok, ok, I'm just kidding!! I can NOT believe it's already been a year. She is still such a doll. Happy FIRST Birthday, Maylee!!
She is so beautiful! Those eyes are incredible! I bet Bryan is not looking forward to the birthday coming in 15 years!!! =)
Happy Birthday to Miss Maylee! And that tutu bathing suit is ridiculously adorable!
