HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Alannah Caileen!

You really are our "precious girl"

This last year has gone by so quickly.

It's hard to believe just a year ago you were born......

our tiny one at just 5 pounds, 12 ounces.....

You are still so tiny and petite - you weigh around 16 pounds now -

And have 3 teeth.....

But eat just about anything I give you, cut up small enough

you will gum and mash it and enjoy a wide variety of foods.

You still nap wonderfully, sleep through the night,

Are a morning girl - always up early.

You can drive a truck along the floor with your brothers.

You pull up and walk along any and everything.

We've caught you attempting to let go and stand a couple times,

but you land on your bum pretty quick.

You love playing with your Da and snuggling with mama.

You are nursing 3 times a day and still throughly enjoy it!

You can sign "more", "please" and "thank you"

We love you little princess darling!

Oh and since it is Thanksgiving too.............

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.....

from our house to yours!

Does 1 looking decent out of 3 count?

Note to self........ nice background, smart thinking putting snowpants on the boys, next time make sure Colm gets gloves too and try to catch Alannah is in a happy mood......... she was really not thrilled by the snow at all.

Alannah

(just a view of "all" her hair!)

(can you see her 2 teeth?)

Colm

He is LITERALLY saying while I took this picture "you mean a nice smile like this?"

her smile

Alannah has such a sweet smile, it just fills her whole face, you can see it in her eyes, she is such a happy girl, but that smile is hard to catch on camera to do it justice!

She's had her fingers in her mouth alot lately......... her top tooth is coming through - wasn't sure till I saw her grinding her teeth together this morning and realized it was almost thru.

Caeden

(I know it's a little fuzzy, but this is a "true" Caeden smile!)

Oh the joys........... of pillows......... Caeden says "Look mom, I am being a whale"........ as he is kicking his feet up and down while in the pillow................ and below......... just a few minutes later........ "Look mom, I am a snake shedding my skin"............ oh is an imaginative little boy!
