Guess who turned 1?!

Yep, on December 30th my little baby turned one year old! I can hardly believe it! I thought I would be pretty sad, and I am a little, but I'm not as sad as I thought because I really love her personality right now. She is so much fun!!!
She had her one year checkup at the doctor and got FIVE shots! That is the most she's gotten so far and it was also the hardest she's cried so far! I almost cried with her! But she did get her first sucker afterwards and that cheered her right up! These are her stats:

18 lbs. 10 oz. ~ 20th percentile
29 in. ~ 50th percentile

These are some of my favorite things about her right now:
-She gives tons and tons of kisses and hugs
-She says hi to EVERYONE and is not shy
-She can entertain herself for large amounts of time
-She's just starting to learn to stand all by herself
-She's saying more and more words like baby, water, & stop it
-She's learning some signs like milk & more
-She's super hilarious!!!


On New Year's Day we had a family birthday party at our house for her. All the decorations were pink and almost all handmade with the help of my mom. It turned out so super cute!

I made a little birthday cake just for her. And boy did she love it!!!

This was also her first Christmas which was very fun!
This is what she wore to church the Sunday before Christmas.

When I say that Christmas was fun, I mean mostly for Kory and I, and our parents. I don't think that Parker really cared too much... It was a super busy day for us, not relaxing at all. We had Christmas morning at our house and then went to Kory's dad's house, then Kory's mom's house, then to my grandma's house, then to my parent's house and then came back home. And if you are wondering if Parker got spoiled, the answer is YES! She got tons and tons of toys from her grandparents!
My dad called this her "Hitler hairdo"
