LaRae's First Birthday!




Annie snapped some ADORABLE 1 year old smash cake pictures of LaRae for us. I made the cake for her to devour and setup the decorations. A nice woman made the black "chalkboard' stats printout for us and of course Annie's picture magic made for pictures I will cherish forever. 


 
We adore our baby Rae.
She started walking just before her first birthday and immediately tried to climb everything. She climbs onto the dining table daily and yes, occasionally falls off. I feel like I am constantly getting her down from dangerous heights.
LaRae eats anything and everything, edible and inedible. We have to keep a constant eye on what she puts in her mouth. She likes to dig through the trash on occasion. Whenever any of us sits down with a morsel of food she comes running over and starts screaming at you to feed her. If you don't feed her fast enough she will again start yelling at you. Dinner time can be a little loud with her.

Baby Rae, like her brothers, loves the movie trolls. If I'm tired in the early morning when she wakes up, I'll put Trolls on and set her in front of it and lay on the couch. She loves it and I get another hour of rest. If she is crying in her carseat and Justin Timberlake's "can't stop the feeling" comes on the radio she immediately stops then when the song ends the crying commences.
LaRae does not sleep through the night just like her brothers. I'm very tired. She either has this lingering cough she's had for months that wakes her up or she just flat wants a bottle. Not just any bottle. She wants pediasure. She refuses cold milk. Sometimes we get away with a warmed up bottle of vanilla almond milk.

We had a family birthday party with all of her cousins on Sheehan and my side of the family. We are always so grateful for the family support and love that we are surrounded by family. We sure Love our Littlest One Baby Rae Rae!





All of the grandkids are obsessed with Gigi and Rae Rae is no different. Gigi is the only person LaRae will run after when she walks out the front door and just cry trying to reach the handle. She never wants Gigi to leave and always wants to be right in her Gigi's lap.
