Happy Birthday Ansley!!!























Last Thursday Ansley turned 1!!! It is so hard to believe that she has been with us for a year, and at the same time it is hard to remember life without her. She has brought so much joy and laughter to our lives. She is so full of life and so beautiful. She woke up on her birthday with a little fever and wasn't very happy. I thought it was just teething so we took Ty to his doctor appointment and then went to meet Daddy for lunch. I had to run to the doctor so Ty and Ansley went to work with Daddy for a while. Notice the pictures of Ansley and Daddy on the excavator and Ty and uncle John on it. So sorry I missed that! Well, by that afternoon Ansley had a fever of 101.7 and she pretty much cried until bedtime. Then we put her in bed and ate the cheesecake Brian picked up without her. What a sad birthday!!! We decided to pretend that Saturday was her birthday since that was when we were celebrating anyway.
On Saturday we had a cookout with our family to celebrate her birthday. It was lots of fun. She wasn't sure about it all, but once we gave her the cake she was happy as can be. She loved it! No surprise here since the girl loves her food in general. So funny that she eats so much and yet was in the 21st percentile for weight at her doctor's appointment yesterday! She really loved her presents too. Her mommy enjoyed opening the clothes a little more than she did! It was a great day. There are also some pictures of her riding in her big girl car seat for the first time. So cute. She went with me to pick up the cake and balloons for her first ride. I am so thankful for this little precious blessing in my life. I am looking forward to many more years with this sweet girl.

Aww, I LOVE all the pink b-day decor! Looks like a fun day! I can't believe she's already in the big carseat!! Thanks for letting us use y'all's baby monitor! I got up in the middle of the night last night not able to sleep, so I messed with it and put it together. I actually figured it out! We just gotta mount it higher up somewhere, maybe on the ceiling, so we can get a better view of Mason in the crib. How did y'all do it? It's going to be so comforting knowing we can keep our eye on him.
