Today is Paisley's first birthday and all I can do is cry. All of this may sound corny and repetitive because everyone says this, but it is how we feel. I am so grateful Heavenly Father entrusted us with one of his precious children. She is the best thing in our lives. Here is a recap of her first year, since she joined us on January 7th, 2009.
JANUARY 1, 2009
This picture was taken a week before she came. I loved pregnancy, but we were so anxious to get her here.
JANUARY 7, 2009

When she came it was such a relief to have a healthy baby and it was fun to have a roomful of love and support.
END OF JANUARY 2009
Her first photo shoot.
FEBRUARY 2009
Her first smiles captured.
MARCH 2009
Our little girl keeps growing and changing too fast.
APRIL 2009

Easter was so special to have so many loved ones there and family members sacrifice to be in Utah for the blessing. It was perfect.
JUNE 2009
Paisley was born with an extra bone in her right thumb. We had that removed at 6 months and she wore a cast for 6 weeks. She was such a good sport.
JULY 2009
She was the biggest bouncer I have ever seen.
END OF JULY 2009
You can tell from her smile how excited she was to get the cast off that day.
VERY END OF JULY 2009
She finally experienced swimming.
AUGUST 2009
Her first day at a park.
AUGUST 2009
She also discovered the pain and sickness with getting teeth
SEPTEMBER 2009
She found how fun it is to bathe in the sink.
OCTOBER 2009
She continues to change and learn so much so quick.
NOVEMBER 2009
Our precious Princess Paisley
DECEMBER 2009
Here are the only pictures I have from Christmas in Utah.

I will definitely take pictures throughout the day today and post about her birthday festivities later.
Pailsey Jane we LOVE you!

P.S. In that first picture you don't look nearly ready to have a baby, you look maybe 6 months pregnant. Where did you hide her?
She's adorable! Happy Birthday. When my kids turn one, I feel like they're not a baby anymore and that the past year suddenly just shot by.
