Today we had Brynlee's first birthday party. You loved playing with all the cousins, especially Lawson. Today is your REAL birthday, though we kind of switched this year. We pretended that Brynlee's real b-day was yours and now her party is on your real day. I really think you are both too young to care. It just worked out that way with the trip. So here is what I want to write to you on your birthday. Blaire oh Blaire where to begin. You are the sweetest, cutest, little ball of fire. The things that come out of your mouth and the winks, grins and cheesy smiles are enough to light up the world-especially mine. You have brought so much joy to this family and definitely keep us on our toes. It has been warming to see you be a BIG sister to Brynlee and to be home with you this year. You amaze me at what you pick up , you placed objects in a circle yesterday and counted them one by one to 30! (you only missed a few) I don't sit down with you as much as I did with Brooke but there is just so much more to do than when I just had Brooke. You would rather be playing a game with her or dancing in the living room. You have such a lively personality when people get to know you. You are super shy until you get to know someone and then we literally can't get you to slow down. We love you so much and you are my favorite middle child!!!!
