Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Hope Elizabeth.....

Its sad how fast a year can go by after you have struggled for a short or long period of time to have a family. We struggled for 3 years but they seemed like 5yrs most days when we look back. This year has flown by almost in the blink of an eye. Our precious babygirl who camei nto this world weighing only 4# 11.4 oz is now a sweet toddler. Im sure she weighs close to 23 plus pounds. We shall see friday at her 1 yr checkup.I was sad for a few days as i looked back over the last year. It at times was rough but it has had so many great memories created. I have done my best at taking planty of pictures for her to look back on and to create as many memories and traditions that we can continue with our family as it grows one day. This year has been by far the best year of my life.  We had a birthday party for Hope on sun Oct 3. It was great. We had so many friends who came out to celebrate with us the miracle we have raised this past year. 

Hope's smash cake. It matched the party theme

Digging into the smash cake

YUMMY YUMMY in Her tummy



Look at her face... She Loved the cake

Look at all her gifts. She got a ton of tons and her Toddler bedding set along with room decoration to match it. She made out for a 1st birthday..

I just want to say a big thank you to all our family, friends, and co-workers for all your support during our struggle to start our family and the great amount of support you have given us this last year as we learned all about being a parent to a premiee and watching her grow into a healthy toddler...



Hope Elizabeth(July,Aug,Sept)



So i LOVE LOVE the 4th of July Holiday. Food,Family,Memories and fireworks. We took Hope out to the local firework display put on by our town. We met up with our nephew and brother in law. Hope didn't even jump when the fireworks went off. Of course i took this as a great time to play dress up with tutus and bows..



Tutus and Bows

August was full of fun with Hope. She really started cruising along the furniture and into all my cabinets. I am loving every minute of it.

Soon Sept was upon us and we really had to pack up Hopes room for the trip. I never knew how much extra you needed when traveling with children.We packed up and this is our baggage for the trip.

All Packed for the trip

Hope got to spend time with my grandpa,grandma and great grams while in Ohio.

Happy 6 months sweet Hope Elizabeth









So with april came the diagnosis that Hope has a very severe right side head tilt and woud need to see a pediatric eye doctor.. We saw himmid april and were given a diagnosis of  Left Superior Oblique Tendon Palsy. In simple words it means the tendon on the top of her left eye was just hanging out and not actually doing it job. So we scheduled for eye surgery on May 7th to have a tuck if the disobedient tendon....

During surgery the discovered that actuallty during my development in mommy's tummy my left superior oblique tendon never formed.. So he had to release the left inferior oblique tendon aka the tendon on the bottom of my left eye...
