One Year!

It is crazy to think that Belén was born 1 year ago today! She was 21 1/2 inches long and weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. Today she is 29 inches and weighs 18 lbs 3 oz. She has been such a sweet girl to her parents and is breaking us in pretty easily. So on this exciting day I wanted to look back through the year.
Here's a month by month flashback

2 days old

4 days old


1 month (ryan and I think she looks like a little flying samurai in this shot)


2 months


3 months (I think she looks like a buddha figurine in this one)


4 months


5 months


7 months


8 months


9 months




10 months



11 months


...and that brings us to today : 12 months - 1 whole year!!!



And what a fun year it has been!

You really can see her little personality being expressed,she is always so happy!! I love where she lights up when she sees you and flashes that big grin. Happy Birthday Belen. xoxo
