It's Already Been a Year?!

Our sweet little Riley bug turned 1 year old last week. 12 short months ago I was sitting in the hospital waiting for the arrival our of little baby girl. I know I always say this but I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. Here are some things about our fiesty little 1 year old:

*She weighs a whopping 17lbs 5 ounces. By their first birthday both of her sisters weighed about 22lbs so she is my tiniest! We like to call her our little shrimp!
*She is a Momma's girl. If she sees me she wants me!
*She LOVES candy (even though you would never be able to tell!). Her favorites are Reese's Pieces and licorice!
*When she hears a soda can open she immediately crawls over to her Dad and searches for his Pepsi can! She doesn't do this when I open a root beer she is strictly a Pepsi kind of girl!
*She finally has teeth!! Her bottom two teeth finally broke through about 2 days before she turned 1 and boy are they sharp!
*She is all girl and loves to play with dolls and bracelets! She will find necklaces and bracelets and put them on and crawl around.
*She has been taking a couple steps by herself for the last 3 months but doesn't walk a lot. She will walk from one object to another but if you try and force her to walk to you she will just stand there and do this action with her hand like "give me something" basically meaning if you want me come get me!
*She is a spoiled little girl. She loves to be held and lay in bed with us at nights. She will climb right up in between the middle of us and lay on the pillow (or on one of us!) and watch tv
*When she gets tired she will crawl over and just flop over one of us. She loves for us (especially Erika she has the magic touch!) to hold her when she is tired.
*She is a little shadow and mimics everything we do. Every night I go in the bathroom to brush my teeth and she follows me and grabs a toothbrush out of the drawer and brushes her teeth too!

There are so many things that make Riley special and we are loving having her as part of our family! Hopefully the next year will slow down a little!
