MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Lane playing with...yes...her first cell phone

Cousin Maddie getting in on the action. What she is really thinking is that she can't wait for this baby to leave so everyone will pay attention to her again

Merry Christmas from all of us!

Happy 1st Birthday Lane

Even Dante and Zoe thought she should share her pre-birthday puffs...Lane is all-too glad to let them lick her hand. It is pretty cute, she makes sure that each one has a turn.

12 months of Lane, I put her 12 month picture in yesterday. It is kind of bittersweet that the frame is full now. I can't believe how the time has flown by...to think a year ago I was lying in the hospital and Brandon's family was speeding up I35 to make it to Fort Worth before Lane came in to the world. At 12 months she still only has two teeth, is just on the verge of walking, says "mama" and "dada", loves giving kisses and hugs, can wave "bye-bye" on command, her favorite things to eat are banana and puffs, and already has the funniest personality.

Playing with her new Lion Walker (thanks Gepaw & Memaw!)

Uncle Josh is encouraging Lane in the background.

Sweet Baby Lane

Lane's 1st Birthday Party...Safari Style

The monkey cake...I decorated this myself

Singing "Happy Birthday"

1st taste of her cake...she only ate the icing.

Opening presents

Brrrr...I'm ready for the cold weather...bring it on!

I try not to brag too much...but my baby girl is sooooo cute...this is what she wore out to dinner tonight and everyone (about 6 tables of people and three servers) stopped and smiled and said "awww."

And these are her new sparkly Converse shoes...her Daddy chose them for her.
