Happy First Birthday Elyse Karoline!
You weigh 23 lbs...
You are happy most of the time, but a terrible sleeper... Lately you refuse to sleep in your crib and take naps except in someone's arms...
You are a super fast crawler and take a few steps each day... You love to be held...
You are wearing size 12 month clothes and a size 3 diaper...
You like to eat whatever we are eating but still love your cereal and fruit in the morning...
You had two birthday parties and liked the cake at both...
Big sister Emma adores you and loves to carry you... You love her back just as much and have perfected calling her name...
Here's cousin Nathan Parker... He loves you and gets excited to see you... You love to touch him, steal his pacifier, and kiss his bald head...
And here's one of your favorite people these days... PawPaw Bosco... You can say his name when you want to and whenever he is around you want him to hold you... He loves it...
And cousin Alex... You love to play with him too... He's more gentle than Emma and takes care of you...
What a wonderful year this has been... You have added so much joy to our lives... We love you!!
