Happy Birthday LeLe!

I cannot believe that Laura Elizabeth is already one! Man! How time does fly! I also cannot believe how much I have learned over the past year. I am going to share some of these things for all of you fellow MOM'S TO BE!

1. When making a crib skirt, don't worry about making sure you get the exact measurements to the floor. The crib is going to be on the lowest setting most of the time so it is going to be crumpled up on the floor regardless.
2. Everyone MUST have a bouncie seat! We still don't know how we could live without the ole Rainforest Bouncie.
3. Don't dry any kids clothes...they grow out of them fast enough without shrinking.
4. Don't bother buying 3 types of bottles. If your child has reflux, she is going to scream regardless of the bottle. :)
5. Don't bother dropping the crib to level 2 and 3. Go from level 1 to level 4! Save yourself some type of sanity!


Okay..I am sure that I will be remembering some more...but on to my little baby. I cannot believe that this time last year she was making a visit to NICU!

This morning, we met Bobo and Pappy to eat breakfast for LeLe's birthday. She absolutely loved the Cracker Barrel pancakes. She also enjoyed walking around with Bobo as neither one of them could sit long enough to eat.

When we got home, it was warm enough for LeLe to try out her new swing set. Thanks to Backyard Adventures for installing it in the freezing weather on Monday! She loved it!

For dinner, the Hollands came over to the house. LeLe enjoyed spending time with them as well. She had no problem opening up their present...as she is now a professional gift unwrapper. LeLe enjoyed her cupcake much better tonight. She really liked chocolate!

Happy Birthday Laura Elizabeth! We love you so very much!
