Happy Birthday Brighton

Holy cow, my daughter just turned one! My hips, butt, belly and pre-pregnancy clothes can't believe that a whole year has already passed! Oops, better start working harder to get that baby weight off! I really can't believe that it's been a year since Brighton came into our lives (I know, cliche) but seriously, where has the time gone? And what's even crazier is knowing that before she turns to 2 we'll be living in yet another new house, be in another new ward, oh, and be living in freakin Italy! Brighton has been such a blessing and has been such an easy girl to raise. She's totally abandoned crawling and walks everywhere now! She still loves her baths but will occasionally get clean real fast and then be ready to get out. She's totally over baby food and only wants whatever we're eating, even though she still has NO teeth. She's happy to spend 10 minutes gumming the bite till it's happy baby mush consistency. I'm not sure who we could ever love her more, she is definitely the center of our world and we love her!

Grandma Nelson & Great Grandma came down for my birthday B sleeps with a ducky and plays with duckys in the tub, so she was a ducky for Halloween and we made her a ducky birthday cake.

Happy what? She was a little confused why everyone was looking at her and singing.

Someone clean me up!

Thank you Grandma Nelson for my new farm toy!

Thank you Grandma Kennedy for my Care Bears coloring book!
