The Day Didn't Stop There!

From the party to the presents, our San Diego family is amazing. So incredibly grateful for the love and generosity on Hayden's special day.

It's Rough Being One.

Happy 4th of July!

One year ago today we were released from the hospital - It was cold, rainy and our dear daughter was without a name. I enjoyed a sandwich and a glass of wine, while we debated names and whether or not to walk to our usual spot to watch the fireworks. I felt horrible that I wasn't up for going, but thank goodness we didn't (all four shows were a bust - technical error). This year included it all - Sunshine, Mission Hills parade, neighbor's BBQ (Hayden loved their water mister), long naps for everyone, playground, and FIREWORKS!

Hayden - ONE!

Our spirited, crazy-dramatic, adorable baby girl is ONE. The past year has been quite the roller coaster. "It's a GIRL!" - 6 weeks of nonstop cries - Prevacid/everyone sleeping through the night(!!) - Teething - Crawling - No longer sleeping through the night - Walking - Waking up several times each night - First word - Tantrums - Birthday Fun! The downs have been tough but we wouldn't change it for the world. Hayden brings us so much joy and we can't wait for the adventures ahead (and being well-rested. Hopefully).
