Happy Birthday Cally Mae!

I can hardly believe it! It's been a year since Cally was born but only feels like yesterday! I have learned so much and my life has changed immensely but I'm grateful for it all. Cally has been an amazing baby and it's been so much fun watching her grow and learn new things. She is such a happy, smart, and friendly little girl! She loves everyone, always smiling and laughing and now waving hello. This last month she reached a huge milestone. She finally got walking down and she's now cruising around like a pro. No more hands and knees! This is an exciting time for all of us and I'm so grateful that Zane was around to witness it. It's so fun to watch her walk around, she's like a little person, no longer a baby. I have officially weaned her off breast milk and she is now drinking cow's milk with no complaints. She continues to sleep in her crib and through the night. Along with waving hello, she loves to clap her hands together every time we say "yay!!!" and she's trying her best to communicate with us. She is not quite saying any distinct words but she makes noises to get our attention and to express herself. This has been an amazing year for all of us! Happy Birthday my darling girl! Mommy and Daddy love you more than you'll ever know!

Cally officially turned 1 in TN while we were there visiting John and Mary. We celebrated with a little birthday cake and presents from Nan and Papa bear!
(Pictures to come...)

The following weekend, we drove down to Yuma to visit with friends and family and decided to throw her a small birthday party at my friend Jil's house. We got together with family and some of my best friends which I had not seen in a very long time and celebrated along with all of our kiddos. It was so great to see everyone and share such a fun day!

Mmmmmm, yummy cake!
