Here are a couple of videos which showcase a snipit of Hattie's personality...

Hattie is officially ONE!

It is so hard to believe that it was a little over a year ago that we welcomed our little Hattie into this world. We could have never imagined at that time how much of a joy that she would be in our lives. We are so grateful that God blessed us with such an amazing little girl.

Fall is a time to celebrate the harvest and we do celebrate our little pumpkin. As a matter of fact she likes to celebrate, too.

Hattie's first hayride

Hattie and some of here friends enjoying a little recreation while swimming,

Swinging, and

Driving!

(Well, maybe not)

Because you know that a girl's gotta be able to get around like when going to the mall and

Dancing

But she has to make sure that she has enough energy to get back home and prepare dinner for the family.

Then she can finally relax!!!

Hattie seemed to have a celebration of her birthday every time she turned around:

At one of our favorite Italian restaurants, Maggiano's.

When Pop-pop and Jo-jo came to visit.

When Gran-gee came

And when all of her friends came for her birthday party.

She liked getting presents so much that she decided that she wanted to see what it was like.

And what a gift she is !!!!

Hattie enjoyed watching the trick-or-treaters

And Gran-gee kept her safe from any weirdos that were out.

And it's a good thing that she knows a doctor in case something ever happens. (Dr. Ty)

Our Thanksgiving was spent with some friends and it proved to be a special time.

And now Hattie hears that there is something coming called Christmas.

Our Bundle of Joy is Growing Up....11 months and counting

Hattie takes to the street- WATCH OUT!- she's a handful! ;)

BIG smile!
Have you ever seen a baby so excited about toilet paper?
