1st Year

I'm not really sure how it happened SO fast BUT our sweet little Loa turned 1!! I clearly remember the morning she was born and I'm so grateful for the way she has changed our lives!

She is such an easy going fun little girl! She's so loving and happy! And she loves her brother - he makes her laugh more than anyone!
















At one she's learned how to stand on her own (without holding on to anything), but isn't quite ready to walk -and I'm okay with that! :)
She learned a couple of weeks ago how to climb onto the couch herself and I'll often find her just sitting on the couch watching everything that's going on.
She hasn't ever really picked up on the sign language like Laexin did, I guess that's what happens with the second child :) --I'm not as consistent plus she is really dramatic and if she doesn't get what she wants NOW she has some serious lungs and I just don't want to hear the screaming so I give in :)
















































She loves to play - I often find her in her closet just playing with her shoes (I guess she's a girl!) She's smart, give her a pair of socks or shoes and she tries to put them on her feet, give her a headband or hat and she tries to get it on her head --she picks up on everything!
She continues to grow like a weed - I'm running out of clothes that fit her, were onto the 18-24 month clothes, she's so tall!
She loves her food & her sleep!






















For her first b-day we had an owl themed party "Look Whooooo's One" - it was fun, we just had close family and friends here. We had "wings" to eat ;) along with cupcakes, "nests" and other goodies and of course an Owl Pinata.



















































































She loved all of the attention and really dug into her Owl Cake (thanks to Aunt Kenzie for decorating it )


















































































We sure love this little Lady!
