I can't believe my precious baby Belle turned 1 years old already! As you remember, my pregnancy had a little bump in the road with Belle having a single vessel umbilical cord, so I had to get weekly sonos, did kick counts more frequently, and I had to have her early. So with that said, she was my miracle baby and I always called her my little Angel from Heaven! I even have a little charm initial necklace with Luna, and Belle's names on it and a little Angel wing for her. She had a rocky start with her colic, but then once she came through that, she has been the happiest, smiling baby ever!! Everyone always comments how happy she is and has yet to have any stranger or separation anxiety, just the happiest little girl.
Here is her 12 month update: She is still eating some purees, but does love her blueberries, cheerios and puffs. She is slowly eating real solids but is a picky girl! She does still nurse too before naps and bedtime. Sleep has been getting better, she had an ear infection that took awhile to clear up, but now is sleeping a lot better. She still has some middle of the night wakings and feedings and I hope they go away soon! She is miss social and loves to get people to notice her. A definite second born child :)
For her birthday, she opened up some of her presents before Todd left for work.

Then we dropped Luna off at school, took her morning nap and then we went to Artistic Gatherings so she could make her own birthday plate!
Then after afternoon naps, we took some cute birthday photos in my backyard. I also made her a pink cake so she could have her own cake and blow out candles. She had a great day for her first birthday!
Since Luna's school had a party for their last day the night of Belle's bday, we went to Mariano's for her bday dinner a few nights later. She LOVED riding the horsie!
