Happy birthday, Hopie girl!

One-day-old

One-year-old

Jon and I were as shocked as everyone else to see our 9lb. 7 oz. baby girl with a head full of dark hair! Now our beautiful second daughter, Hope Katherine, is in the 50% in weight and height and has a head full of light blonde hair! Love it! We had a great first birthday party with Hope and both sets of her grandparents, as well as some other family members. We ate spaghetti for dinner (Hope’s favorite) and then watched her plunge into her monkey cake and eat until I was afraid she would wake up in the middle of the night throwing up cake and icing! She loved it!

I was happy for Hope to destroy the birthday cake I spent hours baking and decorating!

Ready for a bath!

The ride-on toy was one of her bday gifts. She LOVES it!
