Mikayla's FIRST Birthday

I can't believe how fast this year went. It seems as though I can remember the time so clearly of when we were preparing to become a family of four - and now we have completely settled in.



Mikayla is definitely not letting us forget that we are now 4 instead of 3 or anyone else for that matter.





She is such a happy, spunky girl. She loves her big brother sooo much, but she is definitely not afraid to let him know how she feels at any given point in time.





We are certain that no one will be pushing this little girl around. She will definitely be holding her ground and hopefully teaching her brother a thing or two about sticking up for himself.




Because as much as we like to think we are the bosses of this family.




I'm pretty sure Mikayla is the one calling the shots around here.




When we decided it was time to move on from the bottle, Mikayla had other plans.




When we put Mikayla in her high chair, she had other plans.



She only lasted a bite or two and then she was climbing out.


What can I say, this girl knows what she wants when she wants it.  Happy Birthday sweet little miss Mikayla!
