Free at Last

She's been able, but too chicken to do this for the last 6 weeks. I think we'll both enjoy this new found independence.

Happy Birthday Erin

I really wanted to post this yesterday, but I had an ornery Birthday Girl who refused to nap. So, one year ago yesterday we took 2 trips to the hospital. The first time I got sent home. A few hours later there was a mad rush to get everything ready and the doctor there in time to deliver our tiny baby girl (45 minutes from the time we got there.) I could hardly believe it when they told me that she only weighed 5 lbs! It's been amazing to see her grow into a little person. She's still not brave enough to walk without holding my finger, but one of these days... She says hi, daddy, doggy, thank you, more, and uh-oh! She has her own words for things like peek-a-boo and Ben, but I wouldn't know how to start spelling them. She's great at driving cars (with sound effects) and growling like a dinosaur, I guess these are the hazards of having an older brother. We tried giving her 'girly' presents for her birthday, but she made the My Little Pony growl, then Ben fed the baby to his dino. Sad, but oh so funny.
Happy Birthday Erin! We love you!
