Happy birthday to Paisley! Wow, how quickly a year can fly by... I made Paisley some "birthday pancakes" this morning and being the goofy Mom that I am, I also put her party hat on for some quick pictures...
Mike is the one that almost always posts the entries on this site, and for anyone that knows my sweet husband, he's a man of few words... :) Thank God for that, because anyone that knows me would probably describe me as "wordy"... I thought I'd share a few of Paisley's personality traits that happen to be my favorites. Lots of you that keep up with our blog don't get to spend time with her on a regular basis, and some of these things just can't be conveyed through pictures!
1) She loves her dogs to no end. Even Mack, our smaller dog, who quite honestly does not care for Paisley too much (he doesn't really like anyone that takes attention away from him, including our other dog Shelby). Paisley is always so excited to see him and perseveres to gain his love and affection, no matter how many times he runs away from her.
2) She loves grapefruit. and avocados. What kid likes that strange sour taste of grapefruit?? She'll eat it day or night, 3 times a day if you'll let her.
3) She adores her dad. I think this may be one of my most favorite things about our family. My husband and my girl are best buddies. Who could ask for more? Sometimes, as a mom, you can feel a little left out, but she is also really good about making sure I feel just as needed when I am home at night and on the weekends. And Mike is the best dad... seriously. I am so glad God has blessed us with the ability for him to stay at home with P.
4) She loves for us to read to her. We might go through every book she has two to three times a day. She's relentless and I love it!
5) Everything that Mom and Dad laugh at is funny to Paisley too. We can sit at the dinner table at night and have a quick "adult" conversation and laugh about something and even if she was paying no attention to us, she'll start in with a quick giggle or big belly laugh.
Anyone that has kids has a list like this that is a million miles long, so I apologize for being "that" parent that has to mention all these things about their kid that I think are so cute... but hey, its her b-day so I think I get a pass today.
As Paisley's "God Made Me" book says at the end, Thank you, God, for Paisley!!!
