Six months ago, our little girl was a wee babe.
With pudgy cheeks, quiet coos, and no where to go!
Her only problem in the world was that pesky older brother.
And just like that, she's an entire year old! She's full of curiosity and alive with movements.
Her smiles are big and goofy and she gives them generously.
She loves to tease, play peek-a-boo, and 'sing' to music.
Her new favorite activity is playing with anything pretty. Headbands and necklaces and beads. She meticulously takes each one out of it's bin or container and then carefully places them all back in. Over and over.
This girl loves to eat! Her cake was demolished. She must be my daughter.
Auntie Gretchin came from New Hampshire to join our little party and play with the kids. I'm so grateful for her here. We feel so lucky to have her.
Her first time independently opening presents. These moments were simultaneously exciting, sweet, and tedious. Hinder came uncorked with the s-l-o-w pace of her dainty fingers grasping and pulllllling. each. individual. square. inch. of. paper.
By the end she got the hang of it and was excited to see what was inside each package.
What a spoiled little munchkin! Toys, puzzles, books, new church shoes, minkie blanket and cute new clothes from her grandmas, aunt, and parents.
Thanks for this cute outfit, Nana!
We love our Vyla. She's the sweetest girl. Just enough spunk to keep her interesting, and just enough mellow to keep me sane. Vyla is the girl of a million nicknames. Vy, Vee, Vee Lee, Vylee, Vyloo, Vylo, Vyleela...she'll answer to any of them. Daddy only calls her "baby girl". They have a speical little bond. The only phrase she says right now is, "hidaddee!" when Ri comes in the door.
She's my heart. I love this girl.
She's so loved and has a charmed little life. She really only has that same problem.
She's so loved and has a charmed little life. She really only has that same problem.
That pesky older brother.
But even that is blossoming into a beautiful friendship.

HahahhhaHahooheeeheheheheHahahha!
I couldn't resist posting this picture of Riley attempting to restrain Hinder from opening Vy's gifts. The facial expression was staged. I promise he wasn't as rageful as this photograph makes him appear.
It's just so funny. :)
