I cant believe my little Posey girl has turned one this summer. We had a lovely party in Utah with Aunties, Uncles, Cousins, Nanny's, Papa's, Grandma's and Grandpa's, the whole clan {except Daddy who was working hard in Chicago...} and delicious chocolate cake, of course. We sure missed Gavin, but what a blessing technology is and that he was able to be there with us.         Dear Posey, What a blessing you are in our life. I am so thankful for your sweet spirit and spunky personality. The way you back into my lap to cuddle, melts my heart. The way you squeeze me in your tight hugs and sloppy kisses, turns me into a puddle (literally!) You even like to bite me every once in awhile and I cant help but think that is because I like to nibble on you all too often. I should probably stop doing that.... but you're just so yummy! nothing makes me happier to see you and your big sister playing together and having fun together. Poppy loves being your 'puppy' and you...

  Dear Poppy, You are almost two years old and are as smart as a whip. You are constantly amazing me with the funny things you say. For example: "Get it." You say this when you pick your nose and want me to wipe off the boogers. I am thankful you arent smearing it all over my walls or putting it in your mouth. I am HAPPY to 'get it' for you. "Kiss it." When you get a boo boo you immediately come running for me to kiss it better. I also love it when you you kiss my boo boo's better too. "Let it go." Yes, even you have not escaped the craze of this song. You are constantly asking me to play it for you and when you sing along it just melts my heart. This song and movie are seriously old news but you are so cute when you sing it that I will keep playing it for you as long as you keep asking. "Siri!" You have a fascination with the IPad and our IPhones and Siri is definitely someone you enjoy talking to. Even though she never knows wh...

I cannot believe my sweet baby girl is already one year old! Where has the time gone? I was looking through your newborn pictures and got a bit emotional to see where it all began. You were so tiny and needed me for everything! Now you are growing into this big girl who likes to try things on her own. Words cannot express how wonderful this year has been. You have made me something I've always dreamed of being: a mother. I never knew I could be so happy. Each little smile, each little sound you make, puts a smile on my face. I can't believe the love my heart is able to hold, it feels like it will burst every day. Thank you for the best year ever and for many many more to come. I adore and love you so much my munchkin! Love always, Mama
