Birthday, Dr. Appointment, and more

Sorry it's been awhile since my last post. Between Sean and I getting sick, getting ready for a birthday party, and not having the Internet for almost a week it's been a little chaotic around here.
Where to start...

My little baby turned one!! We had Haley's birthday party on the 8th and it was a lot of fun. She is definitely a loved little girl. She got so much stuff! Were talking clothes, toys, jewelry, books, and some special items from her Grandma and Papa Cook. It meant so much to Sean and I that everyone came and enjoyed this special day with us. Even those who couldn't make it sent a little something for Haley, and that was very sweet as well. We feel truly blessed that so many of our friends and family members love Haley.

She did really well at her first real social event. She had taken a pretty good nap before the party started which I think helped a great deal. It was a pretty simple party, but fun none the less. She opened presents, (played with the bags not the toys), blew out the candles on her cake(with Sean and mine help of course), and dug into her cake getting pink and white icing everywhere!! Just the typical first birthday stuff.

Haley's actual birthday was on Tuesday the 11th. I just can't believe she is already a year old. Where did the time go? I still remember when she was a little 5lb 14oz baby. She was so tiny and beautiful. I used to stare at her for hours and think how perfect she is. I'm so grateful for her everyday and I love every minute I get to spend with her. I never thought I'd enjoy being a stay-at-home mom as much as I do. I feel so grateful to Sean everyday for allowing me to have all this time with Haley. It's been a blessing for sure.

Haley had her one year check-up on the 13th. Everything went great as usual. She's in the 5th percentile for her weight and height. It seems low, but the doctor assured me that she's just petite. She's the right weight for her height so their isn't anything to be alarmed about. Developmentally she is at an 18 month level which is great! They told me to go ahead and stop formula and start giving her milk. No more bottles as well. Well, after one day Haley was off the bottle and we haven't looked back. She loves drinking milk from her cup and doesn't seem to miss her bottle at all. I feel pretty dang lucky to have such an easy baby!

Not much else is going on. Just busy as usual. Enjoy the pictures!
