ONE year old Photo Shoot

Quinn Avery Cameron
This year has been more fulfilling, more amazing, more exhausting, but really more wonderful than I could have ever imagined. Quinn has brought such a sweet spirit into our lives. She is sweet and sassy and spunky. She is loving and strong and tender and tough. She is funny and she has the yummiest chubby cheeks. I love her raspy little voice and every sound that comes out of her little mouth. She gives the best wet slobbery open mouth kisses and sweetest snuggles. She waves, claps, blows kisses, and does all the tricks. She doesn't sleep through the night, not even close and takes one to two naps during the day. She is a great eater and eats everything and anything. She has two little bottom teeth and two top teeth on the verge. She moves and squirms all over. Loves to walk, as long as she is holding onto someone or something. Loves to dance. Loves songs, and sings along. Loves story time. She loves her daddy and get really excited when he comes home. She loves playing with her brother, and she of course loves her Moma. She has the sweetest personality and brings so much joy, love, happiness and laughter into our lives. We couldn't love her more!!!

These were our family/one year old pictures that kept getting pushed back. Quinn had surgery on her cheek two days after these pictures were taken. So her face is swollen in these pictures and we didn't even realize it until after. 
(she was fine, just an infection that settled on the side of her face. kind of rare for it to settle there. She had and incision and drainage and stayed four long days in the hospital. So glad she is happy and healthy)

Happy FIRST Birthday

ONE
It was a Birthday Weekend...(I can't believe my baby in one) and we celebrated this little girl every second of everyday. We started with Birthday Strawberry Shakes, and she thoroughly enjoyed it, with one dip of her little finger at a time.
 Birthday Morning
Colter and I burst into her room with balloons and singing Happy Birthday.... she didn't really know what to think of it all. She was a little scared and nervous and wasn't a big fan of it, at first. But later she loved the balloons and she smiled and laughed every time I sang Happy Birthday (at lease 100 times)

Birthday Brunch
We had a few of our close friends over for a yummy brunch... Waffles, strawberries, peaches, cream, home made syrup, OJ, banana bread muffins and bacon!!!
Quinny is one lucky little girl to be so loved by everyone!!!

The Clarks came and stayed the weekend with us, they made it that much more fun!!
We went swimming. My kids are like little fish, they love the water!!
BBQ and Cupcakes
Cades family came over to join the party too
 
She clearly was a huge fan of the CUPCAKE. She started with a finger poke, but wasn't afraid to dive right in. She had in all over, head to toe. She squealed and laughed as she squished and played and I think ate a little bit of the cupcake.

I love your sparkly eyes, your chubby cheeks, your big smile, you are captivating, delightful and a complete joy to be around. I just can't get enough of you!!
