Everleigh is ONE!

That's right. Today, our baby girl turned the big O-N-E.
She had an owl themed party. Look Whooos one!

She liked opening gifts...liked, not loved. She was interested in some, and not so much in others.




And the lucky little girl got her very own Pottery Barn chair from G&G Moe. She's been trying to take over P,H&M's chairs, so yay for her own!



Thank you to all who were able to make it today to celebrate!

Snuggling up with Godmother, Lisa and the bestest babysitter, Haley...


And...time for CAKE!!






Clearly, she didn't have a problem eating her cake! :)


Daddy and Mommy with our baby girl...

3 generations...

While Ever took a little snooze, the big kids played baseball!


We also wished Great-Grandma Marian a happy 93rd birthday! I LOVE this picture of her!


It's Everleigh's birthday, so she doesn't have to wear the hat...she can eat it.


Our big one year old. Can't believe it. Time, please slow down!

Everleigh can:
Walk
Go up and down stairs
Say- mama, dada, grandpa, oscar, bub-bye, all done, hi, bottle, pay-pay (paisley)
Turn pages in a book
Shake her booty, on command
Follow some one step directions ('go sit in your chair' , 'give me a kiss')
Holds the phone to her ear and says, "hi dada"

Everleigh loves:
Blanky
Snuggles
Clapping (she still even claps for herself when she walks :) )
Swinging
Imitating her siblings
Being held
Waving to herself in the mirror

Everleigh dislikes:
Being set down
Diaper changes
Being hit, pushed and trampled on by her brothers. One in particular.
Mom and Dad leaving the house. (or just going outside without her)
Sitting down in the bath tub

Miss Everleigh Calla is such a happy little girl. Our lives would not be the same with out her. She was sent to us for a reason, and for that, I am so thankful! When we found out we were pregnant with number four, we knew our lives would never be the same. We just didn't understand how amazing and complete this little girl would makes our lives.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERLEIGH!!

Thank you, Craig for sharing Father's Day with Evers! Daddy and his girlies.

Let's rewind....

On my due date (June 15)


Emergency C-section and a few blood transfusions later, we were both safe!







Swaddling my little nuggets up is something I will always miss. Love little burritos!


First Halloween

First time eating cereal

Christmas 2011




And who can forget the toe incident...


9 months





Our walker...


You're ONE, Everleigh! We look very much forward to this next year. Can't wait to watch you grow and learn and talk and make us smile every day. Love you!!

Even though today has been overshadowed by baby girl...Big hugs to Craig! Happy Father's Day to an amazing Daddy! We are all so lucky to have you! XOXO ~Brook
