Happy Birthday Leonella!

Oh my goodness, I cannot believe 1 year has already gone by since the amazing and incredible Leonella Ann came into the world!  This has truly been the best and most rewarding year of my life, and of course the most exciting and interesting!

Once you become pregnant and have a baby, you find yourself talking about the strangest things, but it's all good!  So many hilarious and embarrassing things happen so I have become even better at laughing at myself and just going with the flow!  More pictures coming soon; enjoy!

  2. Such a sweet and loving family! I love the pictures! And how great to see a synopsis of all those big accomplishments by little NellaBella over the last year. The time has flown by; so much happens in that first year of life! Of course it has been a big year of change for me as well, I'm a little 'grander' than I used to be or 'Babbier'. That is not to be confused with babble as in talking on and on causing irritation to those around me. :)
