Happy Birthday Little Girl!!!

Last year on June 20th at 5:57 AM we welcomed the most precious little girl into this world. One year has passed so quickly and Maeve has been an amazing and perfect addition to our family.

Her in utereo photo complete with her adorable button nose:

At 1 year old, Maeve is chattering quite a bit. She still has her handful of words but she is mimicing many things we say. She can stand alone and do things while standing but hasn't endeavored to take any steps yet. She is a mighty fast crawler and loves it when she has something she shouldn't and you chase her.

She is a very smiley and happy little girl but is spirited and demanding at the same time. We love her personality and her groans and noises. She is quite independent and likes to try and do new things on her own. She will crawl herself right into the play room and play with Noah's toys. She loves shoes, keys, and bags. She is generally quite content and is happy to watch the older kids play and do things or run errands with me.

Surprisingly at 1 year she is still napping a ton. Generally she takes a 2.5 hour morning nap and another 2.5 hour evening nap and then goes to bed at 7 until 7 AM. She is sleeping much more than she is awake, it seems!

She is eating all normal people food, though we're moving away from a milk based diet as she seems to be struggling with dairy right now. Her favorite thing is blueberries and she would live on those alone if she could!

As we enter the summer together we are excited for many days of the pool, the park, and the beach with our little girl!!!

Happy Birthday beautiful one! We love you more than the sun and the moon and the stars combined...
