Happy 1st Birthday to our little Bianca Michelle! My has the time flown by. I really can't believe that a year ago today, Bianca was entering our lives.
Bianca was born on Saturday January 20th, 2007 at 11:04 am. She weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. She was a funny little thing with dark brown hair and skinny little legs. She melted my heart instantly. Here is Bianca then:
Here is Bianca today:
What is Bianca doing now?
She is almost walking. Sooooo close. She is getting brave, but not quite there yet. She sleeps great, well compared to most of her life! She is climbing steps like a pro and loves climbing on things. She is into everything, and when I say everything, I mean it! Cupboards, the fridge, the dog food, etc. She eats great and loves fruit. She adores the dogs, still. She loves to climb on them, pull at their ears and stalk them.
Bianca is such a far cry from my tiny little baby she was a year ago. She is turning into a toddler and growing up. It's really a bittersweet day for me. I love watching her grow and learn, but some days I wish she was my helpless little baby who slept for hours on my chest.
Happy Birthday Bianca. We love you dearly!
I should also mention that our sweet Annika Leigh in 2 1/2 today. You all may know this, but the girls were born exactly 18 months apart, to the day. It is a neat thing for us, and easy for us to remember!
It's amazing how fast it goes. I still make my daughter nap in the chair with me on my days off. I love it and never want to give it up.

Happy Birthday, Bianca! And Happy Birthing Day, Momma! It looks like both she and Annika had a wonderful time at her party - Maren was not into her cake at all, and Cooper opened her presents for her because she was busy playing with my dad's gloves. I know what you mean about it all being bittersweet . . . I just can't believe how quickly it goes the second time around, and how everyday she seems more and more like a toddler and less and less like my baby!
Hope that you are feeling well and that the next few months go smoothly in all areas! I am obviously more than a few miles away, but if there is anything that you need, please do not hesitate to ask!
