I am lost for words. I cannot believe my sweet baby Audrey is officially one year old today. The past year flew like no other. WAY faster than Ava's first year. I feel like it was yesterday. Jim and I had a 6am breakfast at IHOP before arriving at CMC Main by 7:30 for my induction. It was the easiest labor ever, and at 3:25pm our sweet angel entered the world.
The past year has truly been the most wonderful of my life. It's so much easier to enjoy when you're veteran parents. We didn't freak out about things like we did the first time. We just let nature take its course, and in the end we have a very happy, very fun-loving, beautiful brunette we thank God for every day (and her amazing big sister.) Their personalities are very different, and you never think with your first child that you could love anyone as much, but then you have your second and happily prove yourself wrong.
So following our family tradition, we took Audrey's birthday picture at the exact time she was born. Sadly, I didn't think this through ahead of time and scheduled her 12-month appointment for her birthday... for 3:20pm. Well, knowing it would take weeks to reschedule, I sucked it up and took our clock with me. My purse must have weighed 40 pounds. The nurses must have thought I was crazy, but I don't care. I got my picture :)
Tomorrow's her big party. A winter snow blast is rolling through tonight and I hope it doesn't shy people away from coming. The snow started at 5pm and hasn't stopped. It's BEAUTIFUL outside. None the less, I've spent weeks planning an amazing cupcake-themed party (with much help from my super crafty friend Kristin). I can't wait to share pictures with you!
Happy birthday sweet girl...
Happy as always...

Even though her party's tomorrow, we're sneaking in a cupcake tonight!
