sweet baby janey jae is one today.
this happy, charming, smiling, content, silly
girl has just sat back and let this year fly right by.

sniff, sniff.

too fast. I want to go back. freeze time. back to ringing in new year's eve in the hospital. holding her. the peace and quiet.
the excitement on her big sisters' faces when they met her for the first time.

truly, babies should not be this cute. this easy. because the days disappear. It is hard to even fathom the amount of changes and events she has fluidly accepted in this short, busy year. the travels, the projects, the move...

she embraced them all.
we embraced her.

happy birthday baby girl.

little miss sunshine.

  26. Happy Birthday to your sweet girl. I've found that third babies with two sisters somehow ending up being ore sweet and patient than the previous ones.

  29. Oh, she really is so cute. Happy Birthday. This is just how I am feeling about my little Chase turning 1 in just a few short years. I just want to cry thinking about it right now. Do they really have to grow up? I have spent the whole year trying to drink up every moment of my little guy and yet it still slips to quickly. Maybe this #3 thing really does bring a good baby. I hope you have enjoyed her day! She really is just too too cute!

  32. okay. I'm commenting on this post again.

    I just had to say that I think the title of this post fits perfectly as a country song title - don't you think?

    "Crying in the Cupcakes..." I can just see it now. The music video begins as a dad crys at his daughter's 16th birthday party or something...the daughter then reassures him that she will be his little girl forever...*lol*

    Sorry. I just had to put it out there!
