Nella is 1

Our litle love is now a big 1 years old!!!! It is crazy for Matt and I to think that we have had a year with this precious gift already!!! It seems so fast! But even though it seems so fast...we still can remember the each little moment, milestone, and special event we shared with our girl.
Our Nella is such a big girl! She has the sweetest little smile and love language that she is always sharing. She always has something to say! She has many words now: mama, dada, baba, bye bye, Nella, yeah, yep, no, dog, and then some animals sounds quack, quack and buff, buff (ruff, ruff). If she is not using those words, she is speaking in her special little jibberish that is seriously the cutest sounds I have ever heard. She will tell you all about it for sure!!!
Her party was a blast. Mommy and Daddy, well more Mommy, planned for months. We had a butterfly extravaganza at our home.We had butterfly antennas for the kiddos, butterfly crafts to color, butterflies and pompoms hanging from the ceiling. We had butterflies on tulle out on the patio.....butterfly cupcakes and cake for Nella. We made sure it was fit for our little love girl to celebrate this wonderful year with our girl!!!!


She loved her cake...she so loved squishing it in her fingers. She loved all the people and enjoyed opening her gifts! She seemed to soak in her party and enjoy everyone being there!!!

A special birthday banner made for our love by her Aunt Leslie....pretty awesome!


One of my favorite decorations was her months banner. I printed all of her pictures from each month and put them on a clothesline. I was amazed at how much she had changed and grew over the months!!! I honestly have loved every month, every stage, every milestone.....that we had this past year! I loved the newborn snuggles and wide eyes as she would take in her world. I loved first baths, first smiles, first sleeping through the night, taking a nap for a long peroids of time, sleeping in crib. I love the sitting up stage, rolling overs, trying cereal for the first time, and watching her expressions as she tries every new food given to her. I loved watching her learn about her world and watching her explore everything around her! She is such a gift!!!!! Such a blessing!!!

A little about Little Miss at 1 years old
  • she can crawl super fast
  • she loves to eat and is such a good eater
  • she switched herself to sippy cups by not wanting her bottles anymore
  • she loves her whole milk
  • she is taking one nap about 3 hours a day now
  • she does patty cake and wheels on the bus
  • she is a good little listener but is a determined little love to do things
  • She pulls up on everything and I secretly think she could walk, but it is kinda sweet she still wants to hold just one finger
  • She is answering questions when asked
  • Her favorite word is bye bye...says it all the time
  • She loves to kiss and will kiss everyone and everything
  • She loves her kitty and doggie SO much
  • She knows how big is Nella
  • She loves to read and be read too! She is always looking at books or wanting you to read a book to her! When you get done, she will ewwuah, which I think means again!
  • She points now to tell us what she wants and it is really cool to communicate with her!
  • She is one happy girl and her smile will melt your heart in an instant
Our Nella is seriously our biggest wish come true! She continues to melt my heart daily and I am so proud and honored to be her momma!!!!
