I can't believe it has been a year already since I gave birth to my first and only baby girl. Lauryn Elizabeth Burnett was born Thursday, May 29th, 2008 at 3:03pm and she weighed 9'13'' and was 21 in. long (2 weeks early). She cried a lot after she was born. Her face was all bruised from the delivery and was so chubby that she couldn't open her eyes. She was so precious. We were so excited to have our girl!
She has grown up so much this past year and has developed quite a little personality. It is so neat to the differences between boys and girls. She is so sweet and loves to be cuddled and kissed. She ADORES her brothers and has to be everywhere they are! She also loves her Mommy, which is alright by me!! Here's some photos of her growing the past 12 months.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAURYN!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAURYN!!
She got a big girl car seat for her birthday and got to face forward!
That hat lasted about......2 seconds....long enough for me to take a picture. She LOVED the balloons...was totally mesmerized.
After Spencer went to school, Jacob, Lauryn and I went to the water park and played along with some friends from exercise class. She had a great time even though she felt a little "under the weather."
Totally worn out from the water park.
After naptime, we picked up Spencer from school and Lauryn got a present from Nana and Popi in the mail. She loves her first little purse! Thanks, Nana and Popi!

I made "Color Burst Cupcakes." Mmmmm, and SO CUTE! It took a lot of work, but it was totally worth it! Look at how cute those babies are! Lauryn had A LOT of fun eating hers!
Then we took the kids to Build a Bear Workshop at the mall and let the boys pick out an animal to stuff and dress to give to Lauryn as their present. I had to put this picture on here because it shows what was really going on. Spencer thought the "fluff machine" was too loud and that the whole process was too "babyish" for him (deep down, I know he liked it, he was just putting on a show), but Jacob was fascinated with the whole process and couldn't do much but stare.....much like Lauryn. After Lizzy, the kitty, was stuffed.......the boys..........ok, pretty much...... I picked out the clothes and dressed the kitty. They weren't too into that part. But once they saw how she loved that kitty and hugged it so tight, they decided it was fun and they loved it! Lauryn was SO cute with the kitty. She's already showing her nurturing side.
