In just two days, my angel will be a 1 year old. A toddler...WHAT?! Ugh, it seems like warp speed has just blown through my life, taking Kendall with it. I am SO thankful that I got to spend this year with her at home. She her crawl for the first time, pull herself up into standing position, watch her WALK (yesterday, for the first time!!), smile, giggle, snuggle, love me unconditionally (except when I wash her face :) ).

Two days...that's all I have left of this year with her! It's bittersweet for me. I want to help her grow into a great little girl, but I'm so afraid to let her grow up and away from me already.

She is the happiest little girl, 90 percent of the time. The other 10 percent is when she's really tired or hungry, or when she bumps her head on something. I'm not sure what I did right, but I'm thankful.

I'm missing her so much right now, she's at the zoo with her Nana and Aunt Sara and Cousin Robert. I know they are having a great time. It's such a pretty day out!

This summer is going to be fantastic. I'm planning on taking her to the pool a few times so she can swim, and maybe even go to the beach with some friends like we used to do. Kendall hasn't been to the beach yet, but I would LOVE to be able to take her every year since we aren't too terribly far from it.

Saturday is going to be a wonderful and big celebration. I hope that a lot of people get to come and join us. I have everything planned out, and hopefully it will work out!

Alright, now that I have a few minutes of alone time, I guess I am going to go relax

i love you kendall paige cranford :) <3

Kendall will be one year old in two weeks. She is pulling herself up and standing and trying to talk. She is just the most beautiful little girl i have ever encountered. I know that it sounds bias, but I can't help it. She is the best nature girl. Every day she waves and laughs at everyone. I hardly hear her cry unless she is really tired or hungry. I love every waking moment with her. I'm not sure that I want another child because she is the best and I don't know if another one will live up to my expectations. Am I being silly? I don't know. God made the best daughter for me the first time around and I hope that I don't feel differently towards another child. I love her more than everything.

Her party is going to be amazing. Butterflies in pink and purple. Her cake is really a butterfly made up of cupcakes. Purple and pink decorations and lots of balloons. Should be awesome. I hope that she has a lot of people come to celebrate with us!
