My baby is one . . . sniff sniff--April 27

This last year has been such a crazy one . . . I hope I was able to cherish every last baby moment I could, Amber has added so much fun, sweetness and happiness to our home.  She's been such an easy baby and was part of the salve for my and the kids moving anguish! :-)

     


 I spent quite a bit of the afternoon working on her cake--it wasn't that hard, I just hadn't had a chance to work on it. . . but it was getting down to the line and I could either finish dinner or finish the cake.  SO . . . a bowl full of ice cream was what we sang to her with . . . I didn't hear much complaining so maybe I'll stop with the cakes?!!





 Amber loves toothbrushes and is always trying to snatch everyone's out of their hands when they are brushing teeth.  Her very own toothbrush may have been her favorite present!
 Amber's favorite activity besides good dental hygiene is being outside playing in the water table or in the dirt.  When big brother Brett is by her side all is well.
