You Are My Sunshine....

My Only Sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.

Happy 1st Birthday to our little sunshine.  Lucy is a year old!  I can hardly believe it, but it is true.
She truly is the sunshine of our lives with her sweet disposition and sunny smiles all the time.
She has four teeth in that smile and is busy all the time trying to keep up with big brother and play with all his toys. She also reserves her best smiles for big brother.
She has started taking a few steps and will walk some, but mostly prefers crawling as the faster mode of transportation.  She already has several words and signs.  Some of her words are:
dada
Brooo (brooks)
ball
bye bye
all done ( spoken and signed)
more (spoken and signed)
yay! (said while clapping)
baby ( her favorite toy from Christmas)

She loves snuggles and hugs (which her mommy also loves) and LOVES to hug and snuggle stuffed animals and her "baby."

We celebrated our little Sunshine Girl with a "you are my sunshine" themed party.  Lots of friends and family joined us to celebrate Lucy and with her a happy 1st birthday.
