I can't believe that our little girl is a year old! It's crazy to think that a year has passed by. We had a good month. Brandon's parents came to visit for a week and we had a little birthday party with them. Then we had another family party with my family. We have been so blessed this past year. Lilly is so much fun! She weighs 20 pounds and is 29 inches long. She is running all over the house and has started laughing at the most random things - it's actually quite surprising when all of the sudden she starts to laugh at something we do or something she sees. It's adorable! She is seriously into everything!!! I have childproofed as much as we can, but she's quick and knows we don't want her into things, and she'll start running her little legs away when she hears us coming.
We had her first Halloween and she was a cute little Bumble Bee. Our dog, Maggy, was a Lady Bug; unfortunately, we didn't get a pick of the two of them together, but it was cute. She had a very first sucker and went to town on it. I tried to take it out of her mouth once, but that didn't go over well!
Well, this has been the most amazing year of our lives. Having Lilly in it has made it feel so much more complete. The next year will be full of just as many changes in our lives, but as long as were together - that's all that matters. Brandon and I have been talking a lot about when to start the adoption process again (and a few people have been asking, actually), but right now we just haven't decided when/if we are going to go through an agency. We are nervous about the idea of not going through an agency and trying to "find" a baby. So many things to think about. The thing that I have realized is that this is the first year in our marriage that hasn't been full of tears and sadness from not having a child. We are lucky and blessed beyond our wildest dreams. Thank you again to everyone that has been there for us and given us their support. We can't wait to see what the next year brings.
