Anyone still out there?

So I've kind of been neglecting the blog...just no time in the summer, but I promise there will be a post coming this week...if anyone is still reading, lol.

Sami had her 1 year well baby checkup today. She weighs 19 pounds 4 ounces and is 29.75 inches tall. She also got two shots which she was very brave for and did really good sitting still, but cried her eyes out! I felt so bad for her, and as if the 2 shots weren't enough we had to get blood work too. She screamed all through the blood work process, but still stayed amazingly still and only moved when she was taking her deep inhale to let out another scream. At one point during the blood drawing she turned her head and looked at me and I'm pretty sure my heart broke right in two :( I felt so bad for her, but she was a trooper. When we got home she ripped the bandage off and it was like nothing happened.

She's not doing too well with the heat we've been having. She seems to have very sensitive skin and has been breaking out in a heat rash on the back of her neck. Today she's started scratching at it so it must be itchy too...poor thing. She loves being in the water so the pool has been a big help, as well as the bath tub, lol.
Here are a few pics from the last few days...

1 Year!!!

I'm not quite sure how we got here so fast, but our little miracle is a year old!!
She is growing and learning so fast right now, everyday there is a new challenge that she meets and discovers and figures out. It is amazing to watch her throughout these milestones.
As we leave babyhood behind and enter a brand new world of toddler hood, I am saddened that she is no longer my baby, but just as excited that she is my toddler.
So here's to my little princess who has brought so much into my world and expanded my heart in ways I never imagined.
