Today is your first birthday! It seems like just yesterday that you were born. Your first few months were rough for you and for Mommy and Daddy. You fought through allergies and tummy issues and didn't sleep very often. Boy have things changed! You still don't like to sleep during the day but we fight to keep you up until 6:30pm each night and you sleep 12 hours! I guess you need your beauty sleep. You spend the majority of your awake time with food. If you are eating then you are happy. You have 11 teeth already and your vocabulary consists of 3 words - Momma, Dadda and dogdog. You are very strong willed and sassy. Much like your big sister. We may be in trouble though because I don't remember Maddy having this much spunk so soon! Just this week you have started rolling your eyes. We are not really sure how to make you stop doing that. You love mommy. You love everyone but your REALLY love your mommy. We developed a strong bond in your first few weeks and we spend a lot of time snuggling. You are obsessed with our animals. Doby, Daisy and Oreo like you but only 2-3 seconds at a time. You have a great big sister who loves you so much and your face lights up every time Maddy walks in the room. I can't wait to see the bond the two of you will have as you grow up together. Mommy and Daddy intended you to be named Hannah but very quickly we realized that your name is Hannah Dean. Not just a middle name of Dean. You have a few nicknames like Hannie, Hannah Banana and Badger(I will have to explain that when you are older). The most popular seems to be Hannie. I told your Daddy that would be the case before you were even born. I had a feeling.
You are beautiful, smart and full of personality. You are your own and that makes us so proud. Mommy and Daddy are so lucky to have you in our lives. You make each day brighter.
Thank you Hannah Dean for the joy you bring to all of our lives.
We love you,
Mommy, Daddy and Big Sister Maddy
