4th of July, Karli came home a year ago today!

I

Karli came home from the hospital last year on July 4th. It is a day that I will always remember that special event. After an 8 day stay in the NICU, we were ready to be home. I can't believe how fast the past year has gone by and how much she has changed. Above is a picture that was taken this week and below is a picture taken the week she came home from the hospital. She weighed 4lbs 14oz when she came home and now weighs 19lbs 3oz.

Karli's First Birthday Party

We had Karli's birthday party on Sunday June 28th. We had so much fun and I want to thank all my friends and hers that came out to party with us. We had it at a park with a waterplay area. It was so much fun to watch the kids play. We took Karli's walker so that she could "walk" through the sprinklers and such. She was zooming around so fast...we could hardly keep up with her. Here are some pictures of her enjoying her cake and playing in the water.

We had a professional photographer there but I won't get the disc of pictures until next week. I am so excited. I can't wait to see the pictures..

Karli's 1 year Checkup

We took Karli to the Dr for her 1 yr checkup on her birthday.. June 26th. She only had to get 2 shots.. thank goodness. She weighed in at a whopping 19lbs 3 oz.. and is 27.5" tall. She is cruising around the furniture like crazy, and crawling everywhere. Anytime she realizes that she isn't holding onto something when she is standing, she either promptly sits down or grabs bag ahold of something to hold onto. Anyway here are some pictures from the Dr's office...
