Happy First Birthday Mattie (a day late!)








Mattie is 1! - is anyone else out there as stunned as I am??? Time flew and I am in shock that my baby is really a toddler - out to conquer her world! Mattie was our surprise baby, but I must say that never have I felt that she wasn't supposed to be a part of our family. Since the moment I laid eyes on here (meaning on the ultra sound in the doctors office) I knew this beautiful baby was meant to be here at this time. She has added a little extra spunk to our family and I am grateful she is here. She is full smiles and laughter and she gives the best baby hugs you could ask for. Her favorite things are monkeys (not a joke) and she loves her big brother and sister more than anything - except for maybe her daddy! She is my cuddle baby and my favorite moments with her are in the mornings when I go to get her out of bed or when I pick her up from her babysitter and I am greeted with a sweet "hi" and a big hug. Perfect!!! Makes me smile every time. She is a sweet baby and we love her and again are grateful she is part of our little family!!
