Happy Birthday Baby Girl!


Today Ripley turned 1! Its crazy how fast the time went by and even crazier at how much has happened in just the past year. She has lived in 3 states since the time she was born and has racked up quite the travel miles, I think we counted about 10 fights total in one year! She's quite the jet setter.



So besides liking to travel, she's into crawling lately. She actually first started to crawl right after we moved here, just over 3 weeks ago. So now she's a pro, crawling every where and getting pretty fast and totally tormenting the dog, poor Amingo! He constantly has to run from his bed and hide from her, I actually caught him in a new spot (below) the other day. I'm not sure what will happen once she starts walking, all I hope is that Amingo is faster than she is!

So earlier this month my family came to visit and we had an early celebration for Ripley's birthday, which was a lot of fun. It was so great to be able to share her with them and Ripley just loved all of the attention. Then today, for her actual birthday we had a group of Mom's and their kids who live in the neighborhood come over for a lunch playdate to celebrate. We just moved here less than a month ago and Ripley and I already have friends, how great is that? The Mom's are super friendly and Ripley had a blast being around all the kids. And its so great that all of them are just a few doors down, really convenient. Here they are below right before they all sang happy birthday to her, it was super cute.
So again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ripley!
