Danielle had her first birthday! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. It seems like I just sorted out the clothes for Danielle to wear and the next thing I know is I am taking them back out again. Clothes should last longer than that, right!?!Danielle has been such a blessing to us. She is so playful and so happy all the time! Except on her birthday-when her "mom" set up a doctor's appt. and she had to get four shots! That was really bad timing on my part but she did good. There were a few tears but over all, once she had some cake, she was happy as can be!
Ashlee had picked out this cute whale for her. She fell in love with it immediately. She loves animals, just like her sister, mom, and her Grandma Heslop. She can "pant" like a dog, "oink" like a pig, and "moo" like a cow! She loves to wrestle and she loves books. She is doing great at her baby signs; she can tell me that she wants a banana, ball, or drink, and many more things. She has taken a few steps but is really hesitant about doing it by herself. It may be a few more months before she decides to be independent; which is okay with us. We are in no hurry.
I cannot imagine life with out our little Danielle, or our little Ashlee. They have made our family whole. We are so blessed to have each other forever. Happy birthday Danielle. We love you so much!
