Happy First Birthday, Haylie!

by Brooke on April 1, 2009

Our sweet baby turns ONE today! WOW!! What a wonderful year it has been with our Haylie Belle.

The Birthday Girl in her birthday dress. :)

I could not imagine our family without this sweetie. Every day Jaden and I look at each other and say “SHE IS SO CUTE!” We adore her (still toothless) smiles, her giggles, her dance moves, her snuggles, her chatter, her peek-a-boos, her clapping and squealing, her tiny fingers shoving food into her tiny birdie mouth, her beautiful blue eyes and looong eyelashes and dimples….pretty much everything about her. :)

Soon I will post Haylie’s birthday celebrations and her little “year in review.” In the meantime, you can see Haylie’s first appearance on the blog: HERE.

Oh, it’s been so fun to go back and re-read the posts (and sweet supportive comments) from when she was born and those first days/weeks surrounding her birth. One of the reasons I’m so glad I have this blog!!!!! Pieces of our family history….

Happy Birthday, Haylie! So grateful you are OURS.

Could she get any cuter?!? Holy smokes that Haylie-bell is a beauty! I refuse to believe that she is already one. Honestly, where does the time go?

That was so precious. It was fun to read about her birth, I love birth stories. She is such a beautiful little girl, with a twinkle in her eye. Well done to her parents.

Ahhhh….! I was wishing her Happy Birthday last night at Young Women’s when I reminded Jenny McD that she still had time to share a birthday with Haylie. My guess is that she didn’t have her baby today though. She is due in 5 days.

Back to Haylie….ahhhhhhhhh!

I thought about you on April Fools Day. I can’t believe its been a year since that crazy day. She is as darling as ever and looks so much like Brandon I think. Those pictures are darling and I LOVE that little polkadot cake. Can’t wait to hear all about the big PAR-TAY! miss you.
