One Year Old!

Helen is 30 inches tall and weighs 23 lbs.  This puts her in the 78 percentile.

She will walk everywhere with help, but is still holding out for those first steps.  She is, however, perfectly capable of climbing.

She is fearless and has no respect for her mother's anxiety level or the threat of head injury.  If she saw her brother do it, it must be a great idea to follow suit.  Pray for me.

She love to squish into small spaces and loves to take things in and out of bags.  She also loves music and dancing.

She cries easily, but makes up for it by her frequent smiles and giggles.  Her name means "precious ray of sunshine" and she lives up to it!

She can say the following: Dade, Buba (for Matthew), Mama, Hey, Ball and Get it (which we usually do).


We love you, Helen!  Happy Birthday!
