Letter to ONE Year Old GJ

Dear one Year Old Gracie June,

This has been the fastest year of my life! I can't believe that you are already a year old. You are the sweetest little girl that I know! I have had so much fun being your mommy! I can't wait to make so many more memories with you.

This month's firsts:

You started waving this month doing bye bye and hello.

You got your first two teeth this month, which are your bottom two teeth.

You stared walking around with your walker this month really good.

You had your first July 4th.

You went on the boat for the first time.

You had your first birthday party two days before turning one.

You started doing "arms up" and you can point to your nose.

You started climbing the stairs. We really have to keep an eye on you and make sure the baby gate is closed all the time now.

Things you're loving:

You love to give kisses, hugs, cuddle on pillows, chase Caycen around the house, eat macaroni and cheese, eat anything really, listen to music, dance, baths, playing with the dogs, crawl, climb stairs, read books, watch t.v., play outside, swing, play in the pool, your water table, your new kitchen, your cozy coupe, and playing with mommy and Daddy.

You are such a happy little girl. I pray that God will allow you to have many many more birthdays and that you will grow into a God loving girl that stays just as sweet as you are right now. I am BEYOND BLESSED to be your mommy.  I love you sweet girl and can't wait to see what this next year holds for you.

Love,
Mommy
xoxo

Gracie June's First Birthday Party

Gracie June's first birthday party was today and it was SO.MUCH.FUN!!!! She had a cupcake theme for her first party. All of our friends and family in Savannah got to come celebrate with us.

Here are some pictures of the decorations:

We started out the party by eating some food. Then we decided to go ahead and open presents. Gracie June got soooo many cute toys!!! I think her favorites were the grocery cart that she can walk and push, from Nona and Papa Ray, and definitely the COZY COUPE from Aunt Sissy and Uncle Chris. Mommy and Daddy got her a little kitchen that Mommy redid for her.

first thing you saw was your cozy coupe from Aunt Sissy

Caycen loved getting to help you! 

After opening tons of gifts, we did the birthday song and CUPCAKES.

"ARMS UP!"

Now that we were stuffed and sugared up, the kids just played and played!

What a fun birthday party it was!!! I can't believe my BABY will be ONE in only two more days!!! Where does the time go???

We love our little cupcake!!!!

And Caycen loved the cookies for our guests :)

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate our sweet girl's first birthday. We love y'all!!!!
