Before bath Lindsay was checking out a cute baby in the mirror... and gave her a kiss...Smooch!
Thank you Nonna & Grandpa Shipman for my new princess ride! We went to the park and took it for a spin, and I waved like I was a beauty queen on a float to all the people who walked by...LOL.
Big girl car seat! I tried putting it rear facing, but she is too tall. It was so comfy she fell asleep by the time we hit PCH! 
Yummmm.... my first cupcake!! After a couple second delay, I dug right in!
Mama & Daddy with their Birthday Girl :) 
We had quite a feast, thank you to Great Grandma Rosie for the help on cooking! Thank you to Grammie Kellie for the baby-sitting while we cooked.
We were so lucky to spend the day with all of our sweet families: Nonna Carol & Grandpa Jerry Cousin Sydney, Auntie Katie & Cousin Kat, Grandpa Rich & Uncle Matt, Uncle Ted & Deborah, and a surprise visit from soon-to-be-married Cousin Megan & Brian! Love you guys, thank you for making the trip in the rain! 
I wasn't able to get as many pictures as I wanted, mainly because we were running late decorating before the party, so we were in a huge rush. However, we did get video...I will post one a little later... I am having uploading issues! It is still crazy when people ask me how old she is, and I say "One!". We feel so blessed and privileged to be parents to this sweet girl! I can't wait to see all of what God has in store for her precious life. Love you Lindsay Diane!
ONE!?!? Yep 1. Our sweet baby turned one yesterday! We had a wonderful day...
Big girl shoes. Check. My 1st Birthday onsie. Check. Giant Bow. Check. Ready for Bible Study as a 1 yr. old!
Here is our 1 year stats:
Can we say, "HAM?" LOl...
Lindsay's 1st birthday landed on a Tuesday, and that is our Community Bible Study Day! Lindsay has met so many sweet kids in her playgroup and LOVES to play and listen to their little message about Jesus. It's so cute- they do singing and puppet shows, both of which my musical child loves. After Bible Study, we go to Miss Becca's house and have lunch. This week we had a little birthday party for all the kids who were born in February... there are 4! Here is Lindsay with her friends playing in the kitchen....
Lindsay and Lucy
February Birthdays and Sweet Friends:
Cupcakes and candles! Still working on blowing... The big kids showed her how it was done!
No cupcake for Lindsay, but we did let her eat some Malibu Yogurt, cookies and cream flavor! I will post a video later... it was COLD :) We are so excited for her birthday party on Saturday and to celebrate with family and more sweet friends!! 
Here's our sweet girl... 4 days old... She was only able to wear her V-Day outfit one time... I guess that is what happens when you have 8 lbs. baby and dress her in a Newborn size.
We were watching a bird show and there were birds of all kinds flying above our heads... Lindsay was "OOOooo ing" and Jarrett and I were praying we wouldn't pooped on..LOL
A really big gorilla...
She had so much fun pointing at EVERY animal she saw, and waving at all the kids...and there were a TON of them. Jarrett and I agreed that the animals must bring out the wild behavior in the kiddos too..LOL
Clapping with the audience...
Flamingos... so so pretty!
Happy Superbowl Sunday! Go Packers!
Minus the fat arm, I love her sweet smile!
She saw this tutu from Auntie Katie & Cousin Kat in her closent and pointed to it, so we put it on over her jammies.... yep, she's my daughter for sure!
Sweet girl
Here's a video of her pushing her baby in the stroller...This post is a little late (we are nearing 12 months) but I have been hit with the one-two combo of cold + stomach bug, and have been under the weather. So here is what the little lady has been up to this month:
*Sleeping through the night!! Lindsay slept through the night for the very first time, Dec. 31st... the one night a year that J and I actually stayed up until 12:30am. I think if we knew she was going to sleep through the night we would have skipped the ball dropping. LOL. We do get stretches of her sleeping through the night a couple times per week, or only waking up 1 time, where we have to go lay her back down. A full night's sleep is bliss!
*Teething...Lulu has cut all 4 of her teeth...top 2 and bottom 2, and is working on another one on top to the left. Ouch! I look at her little smile and it's not the gummy smile of a baby anymore, but of a big girl toddler.
*Favorite book: The Very Hungry Caterpiller, by Eric Carle. We read this book about twenty times a day! We decided to do a butterfly themed birthday party in honor of her favorite book...
*Social Butterfly... Lindsay is SO outgoing! She is her Daddy's daughter for sure! We cannot go anywhere where Lindsay does not feel the need to wave and smile at every person she sees, even across the room. I have had so many random people come up to us, especially at the grocery store, that say, "Your baby keeps waving at me down every aisle so I had to come say Hi." She loves to "ham it up"!
*Finger-licking-good! She enjoys feeding herself the most, and likes a bite of whatever Jarrett and I are eating.
*Hair... her hair has been growing, and I can almost put a clip in it... poor girl, her Mama loves bows.
I'm not ready for her to be 1. Where does time go? Love u Lulu!
