We've been so blessed to have shared Sarah Grace's very first year of life with her.  She's such a precious baby girl and we are so excited to see what the next year brings!


Sarah Grace loves to...smile...play with Daisy and Daisy's toys...take long walks with Mommy...ride on Daddy's shoulders...read "Goodnight Moon"...eat everything in sight (she seems to enjoy eating everything she's tasted thus far!)...sleep...help load the dishwasher (and by load, we mean she climbs in it!)...swing...be pushed in the cart at the store...look at pictures...splash in the water...pull all her toys out of the toybox...cuddle with her "lovie" and her "dolly"...crawl on Mommy and Daddy's big bed...be tickled...listen to birds chirp and dogs bark...brush her teeth...drink from a sippy cup...fingerpaint...open the blinds beside her crib and look outside (we call her our weather girl!)...laugh...
