i never knew it would feel this way to have a child have a birthday. sophie is an "age" now. it's amazing how much love you can have for one tiny person. i was sitting here thinking what was going on exactly one year ago today. and of course i had to go back and look through ALL the baby pictures and remember all the things i was feeling on may 16th. i guess it's only appropriate to take a walk down memory lane...

such a proud daddy...
not a good picture of me, but this was the first time i heard her cry while i held her. i can remember thinking, "i have no idea what i'm doing." i instantly loved her.
the days of no sleep...
such a tiny person...

and that face was killer...

crazy how it all turned into this...
{sorry no new cute outfits from everyone. thank you all so much!! some days to keep a girl happy you just have to go with the first thing you put on her.}



happy birthday sweet sophie! we love you so much! here's to another fun year!

Happy Happy Birthday big girl!! One year old! WOW!

Sophie, my memory of your day first day here on earth will forever be when I walked into the hospital room and saw you cradled in your proud daddy's arms and he handed you to me with a huge smile on his face. . . it was love at first sight! What a gift you were and still are to your parents! Happy Birthday, Soph!

Happy birthday Soph! We love you so much! We will party when we get together in August! I can't believe it's been a year since Landen called me to pick Jill up at the airport! Time flies too fast.

Happy Birthday Sophie. Too bad your not down in the valley. We hope you have a fantastic birthday and eat lots of cake because today is the only day you can have as much as you would like. She turned out so darn cute Kristin.

That was so sweet! I love walks down memory lane. I especially love the part about you hearing her cry and realizing you have no idea what you are doing...I can relate to that just anticipating my baby's arrival. Happy Birthday Sophie!

It seems like just yesterday you were announcing your "good news" in Relief Society (and of course I missed it because I came in 30 seconds afterwards.) :)Happy Birthday to Sophie!
