Today my baby turned 1 year old!! She is growing up so fast. She has two teeth and loves to talk!
One year ago, when Erin came into our lives, I wondered why God had chosen to send us this third special little person. I already had my hands full with two 'babies' and I wasn't really sure that I could handle another. Through the year, this precious gift from God has given me a reason to smile every day! Some days I was smiling through my tears, but I was smiling anyway. So if for no other reason, (and I'm sure there are other reasons) God sent her to me to be a special bit sunshine in my life.
I feel honored that God has entrusted three wonderful children to my care. Raising them is definitely my life's biggest challenge! I guess HE thinks that I can do it, because otherwise He wouldn't have given them to me.
Upside down birthday cake!
This 'jitterbug' gift was Erin's favorite. (hit it and it vibrates) It shakes so hard that it must tickle her when she holds it. Was really cute to watch her chase it on the floor!

Happy birthday, Erin. You are a ray of sunshine. Such a sweet little girl. It's been fun to see you change and grow.

Hey, YOU should know that a "third child" is a delightful one! (And a FOURTH one even more so, of course. :))
I so enjoy your photos and remarks. I have a hunch you're doing a great job of being a good mommy.
