One year ago today I gave birth to a beautiful 10 lb 11oz round little pink baby girl. Yikes. And I got to do it after my epidural wore off. It was all worth it though, she is a sweet, good natured, healthy little girl who has been taking her first steps the past few days. She started sleeping through the night consistently at 2 months, a first for me as a mom. I like to think of it as Hannah’s gift to me. She’s sweet, patient, adorable and her siblings love her like crazy! We only took video of her pink cupcake eating and bewilderment at her little gifts. She’s sleeping peacefully now in her new pink pj’s she got from Grandma and Grandpa Juett. The box of tissues didn’t go over as well as I’d expected. I guess I accidentally taught her that it wasn’t okay to pull all the tissues out. When Hila presented her with her own box of tissues she just stared at it. Oh well. The kids loved winding up her new jack-in-the-box for her. And Hila made a book about Hannah’s first year that I’ll have to take pictures of. I think Hannah would rate her 1st birthday at a 6 out of 10. Here are a list of the good and bad points:
Good:
Cinnamon rolls for breakfast.
Bad:
Being woken up to eat cinnamon rolls in the car.
Good:
Taking Asher and Hila to school (she normally stays home with Daddy)
Bad:
Going to the Dr. for shots 
Good:
Eating at McD’s with Daddy and getting her very own ice cream cone.
Bad:
Being over tired from too many errands and not enough crib time.
Good:
Having her brothers and sister so excited for her to eat her pink cupcake.
Bad:
What was mom thinking putting a lit candle in her face?
Good:
Homemade pink butter cream frosting…mmmm
Bad:
Getting washed up in the sink to look pretty for present opening pictures…brrrr.
Good:
Having everyone in the family pay attention to her while opening presents.
Bad??
What are presents?
Happy Birthday Hannah Claire! We love you!
