One year old and my has she grown!

My baby is one! The first year really does fly by. I spent the weekend marveling at how just one short year ago, Josie joined our family and we have been better for it! She smiled at us the day after she was born and her happy demeanor has been true of her ever since. She is almost always pleasant, only fussing when something is truly wrong. She loves exploring the world around her and being able to crawl and now almost walk has kept her interests peaked. Her favorite things are helping mommy with the dishwasher, playing with her brother's electric guitar and her recent favorite, pushing around her walking toy. Nothing really compares though to playing with her brothers and sister. They light up her world and keep her occupied all day long. She really will miss them when they head to Kindergarten this fall! Josie loves people too, blowing kisses and handing out smiles that will pretty much make your day. And to make me feel all the more emotional, below I have chronicled the year in pictures. My has she grown! Happy Birthday, sweet Josie, we love you!!
