Mylie Turns 1 Year Old Today

When I was pregnant with Mylie, people always said that kids will change your life, they are the best gift ever, etc. Of course we believed all these things we were told, but my goodness, we didn't know just how true it would be. At 8:31am on November 28, 2006, Mylie was born to us in Sugar Land, Texas weighing 6lbs, 4oz and was 19 inches. From the instant we saw her, we were in love. Our hearts grew larger and started to beat a little bit faster for this little, skinny, brown-headed baby with very distinct features, looking exactly like her daddy. And when you speak of your child, it is okay to be cliche because all of the common sayings are so true. They are gifts, blessings, amazing miracles...

David and I know our marriage is a wonderful gift, and with every ounce of our being acknowledge that Mylie is the greatest thing our marriage and love has created. We are so thankful for our precious girl.

Mylie's Birthday Party

We celebrated Mylie's 1st birthday in Albuquerque when we were home for Thanksgiving. Lots of family and friends came to the party! We all had such a great time and it reminded us again how many people love little Mylie.

So Much to be Thankful For!

Mylie is thankful for so much this year!
Leaves to put in her hair

Her daddy who loves to play with her

Mike the Hula Monkey and her cute bug to ride at Grandpa Dobbs's house

Eating Mac N Cheese at Nonna and Papa's house

Eucerin cream and new pacifiers at Grami and GranDan's house (her cheeks were so chapped from the cold weather)

And a momma and daddy who have been "an item" for 10 years as of November 17th!

11 Months

Mylie was 11 months on October 28th.

She's not walking just yet, but she does pull up on anything and everything.

She is reading though (ha).

This is her new favorite face.



11 months later and she is still such a little delight. She is still a really happy little girl, but we can see a bit of attitude coming out in her. I guess this was bound to happen, and at this point, we think her sass is quite cute.

We will be celebrating her 1st birthday in Albuquerque with our families over the Thanksgiving holiday. We are so thankful for our sweet Mylie.
