"Cheeeese"

I can't believe I forgot to post our new family pictures and Jocelyn's 1 year pictures.  A friend in our ward took them all and she did great.  We split them into two sessions so Jocelyn would last and she did okay for the family ones.  It was cold and windy.  She did lots better for her 1 year shots.  It wasn't as cold and she had more entertainment.  So here are some of my favorite shots.

Hope you enjoyed them as much as we did! 

Jocelyn's First Birthday Party

We went to Dave's dad's house for Jocelyn's birthday party. We had dinner and then the real fun began. Jocey's great-grandpa, uncle, aunt, and cousins joineds us for cake and present opening. She was a little too polite with the cake. I wanted her to tear into it and get chocolate all over her face but instead she just prodded it for a little bit.

Once we cut the cake for her she started eating it more.

She got a bunch of super cute clothes and some fun toys.

And here are the decorations I made (and bought) and the super cute cakes a friend in our ward made just for Jocey.  She did such a great job.

My Baby is 1!

Jocelyn just had her first birthday on Wednesday.  It's hard to believe a year has already passed.  And harder to believe that she has grown from this:

to this:

So here are a few things about Jocelyn.  She has been walking for about 2 months now.  She loves to read and play with her stuffed animals. 

She can say "mama" and "dada" though I don't think she has completely associated them with Dave and I.  She can sign "more" so that I give her food and she loves to feed herself.

She loves to dance.  She can make sounds like a puppy and train.  She can clap, give high-fives, wave bye-bye or night-night, and click her tongue.  And above all she can be so cute.  Jocelyn has brought so much joy to our lives and I can't imagine life without her.  Happy Birthday Jocelyn!  We love you!



Here are her stats from her 1 Year Check-Up:

Height-30 3/4 in (93%)
