One Year

Thank Goodness for the onesie stickers--they motivated me to take monthly pics of Miss Erin (except for at 10mos, when I forgot--luckily that fell around Mother's Day!)
 I have been a failure of a blogger since April.  I have no good excuse: I barely got my pics posted to FB, let alone taking the time to post them here and come up with clever commentary!  But here I am, marking a milestone.  My baby is now ONE.
She got shy when everyone sang happy birthday!
 In the interest of keeping things "fair" we did a huge 1st birthday party for Erin just like we did for Elise.  It was mostly family, but we've got big families, so that should tell you how big of a party it was!
She got into opening presents at the very end.
 We were so thankful to everyone for taking the time to come out and celebrate with us, and we're definitely thankful for our feisty little girl!
She likes cake!

Say a prayer: she drives like her mother.

Best buddies
One year stats: 
Height: 30.5 in (90-95th percentile)
Weight: 20lbs, 4 oz (50-75th percentile)
Head Circumference: 18in (50-75th percentile)
2 teeth--the front two on bottom
Straight blonde hair and blue eyes
 Favorite thing: Pacifiers--the girl loves them.

Erin has such a silly personality.  She loves to make people laugh, and she's very personable.  She is rarely shy, and loves to be cuddled by pretty much anyone.  Recently, we sadly had to attend the funeral of a relative in Nebraska.  She had never met 95% of the people there, but she let anyone who wanted to hold her.  She's not walking yet--she thinks it's faster to crawl so she only practices for a few minutes before she drops down and crawls off.  I suspect it will be a few more weeks before she's walking for this reason.
