Happy 1st Birthday Lauren!

Happy birthday baby girl. It's been an entire year since you've blessed our family. What a gem you are. We love your spirit, your smile and your attentive bright eyes. You are constantly on the go - you don't like to be in one place for too long - walking and running everywhere. You love to talk and sing - most of the time, the only reason we know you are awake in your crib is when we hear you sing. You have the most dramatic little smirk when you are unhappy with something - you scrunch up your nose. Daddy says his favorite thing is to walk in the door from work every day and you say "hi da-da"! Ben tells me all the time, "mommy, she's so cute!" He does like to reprimand you though - we often hear him telling you, "I'm serious Moren (he still can't say Lauren) - stop it!"

We absolutely adore you baby girl. I was a little nervous to have a little girl, but you have fulfilled our lives far beyond our expectations. Love you, mommy, daddy and big brother Ben.
