Rachel Turns 1

I could write pages about this girl and how complacent she's been in a million different situations. The Lord blessed us with this little girl and her mellow demeanor knowing that we were going to be busy for the first part of her life. I was pregnant with her when I was called to be the YW president. She came on her first camp out before she had hit the one month mark. At 5 months I left her with David for 3.5 days while I went to girls camp and pumped like crazy. I came back home nursed her once and she never skipped a beat. Every Sunday for the first year of her life she's been passed around from good friends and all the young women in the ward. She's been to countless mutuals, ward councils, school lunches and school parties and through it all she has a smile on her face. The big kids love to carry her around, tickle her. play with her and she laughs or crawls away from them as fast as she can. She is just the best. 


I took these pictures outside because she loves to be outside, not walking has not deterred her from the backyard. Whenever the backdoor is open she crawls outside as fast as she can. She plays in the grass, under the tramp or on the plastic playset. 
She LOVED her birthday cake.
She hangs with the big kids and refuses to be left out of fun things. On movie night she'll steal their popcorn when they go to the bathroom and climb up and watch the movie. She's hilarious.


She is a content little baby but she loves her Momma. She loves to snuggle and lay her head on my shoulder when I hold her even when she's not tired. If you can't tell she is LOVED. Happy Birthday Rachel Grace!
