Happy Birthday Sweet Berklie!

It feels like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. Our tiny little Berk. Now she is almost 20 pounds, crawling like crazy and eating everything in sight. We can hardly believe how fast the time went! Berklie is one year old already. It's been so fun watching her grow up and learn little tricks. We all adore her and love having her in our family. We all still love to get her up from her naps and race to get to her room first. She laughs the most for Carter, despite what he's doing and has recently started calling him "Ca-Ca". It's pretty cute. She is such a happy baby and will smile at anyone that smiles at her. (She is still a little weary of people other than her mom and dad, but I am sure that she'll grow out of that soon.) The best way to get her to smile is to put her in her high chair and feed her. She loves to eat. If she is crying, your best bet is to feed her. She doesn't walk quite yet, but she loves to shake it when the music comes on and she can even do a few signs; more, eat and drink. We adore our little Berklie and thank Heavenly Father everday for blessing us with such a sweet little girl. She turned one April 4th, and we had a little family dinner and gave her a dolly and doll cradle. Then on the 7th we had the family over for a party. Grammie Weeze and Boppa were in town and able to celebrate with us, Grandma and Grandpa Bell, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends were all here to celebrate. We stipped her down to her diaper so she could more fully enjoy her chocolate cake. When everyone sang to her she cried....but as soon as she tasted the cake, she forgot all about crying. Then, she ate her whole cake. Grammie thought we should stop her, but you only turn one once, so live it up! After a quick bath she opened her presents from the family. After everyone left that night, it only took her an hour longer to go to sleep. It was a fun day. Happy Birthday my sweet Berklie.
