one!

my baby girl is one!  she has given us a year of bows and ruffles and giggles and laughs and all things girlie.  the boys are so enamored by her sweet little smile (until she grabs their toys) and love cheering her on as she learns to do new things.  her daddy has been brought to a new level of "daddy."  i love seeing all my boys be mesmerized by this little princess.  and as much as she is a little princess she loves to get dirty too.  i've seen her clear a plate of barbecue while shoving it in with the back of her hand.  i've seen her lay face down in a baseball field of dirt and loving every minute of it.  all while wearing her hair bows and ruffles.  i love this little girl more than i thought i ever could.  she has completed our family perfectly.  we love you miss shelby cooper.  you are our little piece of heaven right here on earth.

happy first birthday, sweet baby girl!  may you have a lifetime of tutus and balloons!
