Brooklyn's First Birthday!

Brooklyn's first year has come and gone! My 7 pound little baby is now a little person (or Destroyer as Grandpa calls her). She Makes us laugh daily. She has started to make Baba sounds and imitates us talking by moving her lips up and down, but not making noise. It's helarious! She isn't walking completely on her own yet, but she walks around the house holding one of my hands, and takes steps on her own. She's Happy, strong and healthy and the most wonderful little girl we could ever wish for.

This evening we had a little birthday party for Brooklyn. I made two Butterfly cakes for her. One was sugar free, but I didn't know how to make Sugar free icing, so the whole "Sugar Free" thing was useless. It was really actually quite good though with the Banana, Cinnamon and raisins!

Brooklyn had a blast with all her friends. Daddy even came home from School to sing Happy Birthday to her with everyone!

Our friends from church and neighbors came over for cake and Ice Cream.

D-Daddy and Nanna send a big package of toys and I found a few at a Garage sale that I couldn't resist!

Thanks for all the calls, texts and emails wishing her a Happy Birthday! Thank you everyone for making it a special day!

Wow Paige! Nice cake decorating skills! You are an impressive Mom. I too like that Trey came home to sing Happy B-day when the party was happening. You two are doing a wonderful job raising such a healthy wonderful baby. Love Brooklyn's God-mother (Brooke;)

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...
