Happy First Birthday to our sweet Helaina! What a year it has been for our family. Randy and I have watched Helaina grow from a tiny, helpless infant into an energetic and fearless little girl. Along the way, it seems Helaina isn't the only one who's been growing and learning. She's taught us the true meaning of unconditional love. Everyday we strive to better ourselves as parents knowing that we are Helaina's guides in this journey of life.
So today we celebrate the birth of Helaina! She had a memorable day that included lunch with mom and her friends from work, homemade banana bread muffins (made especially for Helaina by Sitty), and playtime on the jungle gym at the recreation center. We'll continue the celebration at the official first birthday party this Saturday!
*She loves being chased around the table. Now that she's walking more, with the help of the table, she's pretty much off and RUNNING!

Look at those squinty eyes, where did she learn that?

Helaina loves to read her books :)
