Our Baby is 1!

We celebrated Brooke's 1st birthday today! (We had angel food cake with real whipped cream and super yummy strawberries!!!) I've always considered the first birthday to be a major milestone...for both the baby and the parents :) It feels good to reach the one year mark, yet my heart still aches as I watch her struggle to learn to use her hands, to sit up, to roll over, to crawl, etc. Still, she is a fighter and continues to make progress, and for that we are so grateful. While the seizures she experienced at birth and/or the medication she is currently taking to prevent further seizures seem to really have an affect on her motor skills, her smiles abound. She is truly a blessing in our life. We love her soooo much! (As you can see below...she gets lots of kisses!)

"Crafting it Forward"

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! This offer does have some limitations:
1. You will not know what it's going to be, and there are no guarantees that you will like what I make! It may be something simple and small or I may go crazy and do something amazing.
2. It’ll be done this year. Translation: you may be waiting a little while.
3. Most importantly, you must offer the same deal on your blog - the first 5 people to comment on your blog get something made by YOU!
Ok...so, I'm doing this "x2"....because I commented on my sister's and my sister-in-law's blogs...so the question is....will 10 people really comment on my blog? :)

This is GREAT!
