Our baby's not a baby!

Berkley Kate turned 1 last week on May 14th!

We can't believe a year has already passed since we got to bring our second baby into our family. She came into this world on a beautiful spring day and has been our sunshine since. She has been such a blessing during this year.

Some things Berkley has done before she was 1:
*Traveled by car, motorhome, plane and boat
*Been to 5 states, been in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and seen the
Grand Canyon
*Survived a big sister who has feed her M&M's, dumped a bucket of water on her, pushed her around in a doll stroller, climbed into her crib too many times to count, "helped" her walk by grabbing her hand and yanking her onto her face, kisses and hugs her all day and makes her laugh so hard she can't breathe
*Gotten a new cousin
*Been on a 4-wheeler ride and sat on a cow
*Conquered her fear of grass on her barefeet
*Still doesn't walk on her own, but will crawl and loves to laugh as she heads face first for the stairs
*Finally slept through the night at 9 months but still takes 3 naps most days
*Still won't let any stranger hold her and cries if someone leaves the room or if she sees Mom and I don't pick her up
*Loves to eat but has a VERY strong sense of what she wants when she wants it. Likes yogurt, will eat fish, and wants anything she can stuff in her hands and feed herself
*Barely has enough hair for a bow, rips off any headband we put on, and is going to stay blonde
*Has three teeth
*Favorite toys are her dolls and she likes to feed them, give them a binky and put them in their crib
*Can give kisses, clap, signs "more", blows kisses, and knows what "bonk" means

We get told at least once everyday that she is the most beautiful baby people have seen, and we believe it.
We love our baby and can't wait to see what trouble she will get into this next year!
-Happy Birthday Berks-

We celebrated with cake and presents. I made her cakes to look like babies and Berkley devoured hers. She had us laughing when she took the last chunck and stuck it right on her head. She got baby furniture from us and loves pushing her doll in the stroller, baby clothes from Braelyn, a dress and teddy bear from Taryn, slinkies from Tay, a crib (for when we move) and steering wheel toy from Munga and Papa, and money from Ashley & Dallin and Grandma & Grandpa Allred.
