Nena's 1!!!

Yesterday was Nena's first birthday!! We are in the process of having three different parties for her so this week is busy!! On Monday we had a party with my family and a couple of friends, on Wednesday we had a small party with just our little family, and on Friday we have a party coming up with Clar's family!! Clar's dad's birthday is today and they were having a party for him anyways so we thought why not just do a combined party. That way, there wouldn't be a ton of people all at once so it wouldn't be quite so crazy and we can spread her birthday out and make it last all week! I will post pictures from all the parties later after they have all happened. These are some pictures of Nena throughout the months. I can't believe how little she was and how big she is now!
This picture was taken right after she was born, she was only a couple hours old! I think she is the most beautiful baby ever but I'm not biased or anything!!
One month!! I love her hand in this picture and you can see her cute little round belly! She was so skinny!
Two months!! Her blessing day! I was kind of bummed because after the whole day was over and I was looking at pictures, I realized we didn't really take any pictures of just Nena in her dress that day besides this one. It's cute though, I love her sideways yawn!
Three months!! Isn't that the cutest little smile ever!?! You can see she's starting to get some chunk on her!
Four months!! We got this cute little patriotic shirt from someone and realized it wouldn't fit her on any patriotic day except Veterans day so she wore it then!
Five months!! Her cute Christmas dress!! For one of our family parties we acted out the nativity scene and she got to be baby Jesus!! She did so good, she was so happy and didn't cry at all!!
Six months!! I love this picture, she is smiling so good!
Seven Months!! We took pictures with some of her friends and they turned out so cute!! This is one of the individual ones that were taken of her!
Eight Months!! She was so close to crawling forever but she didn't actually start until she was eight and a half months old!
Nine Months!! This is one of my favorite pictures!! Look at her pretty eyes and her super cute teeth!!
Ten Months!! At this age she started getting into everything! Her favorite was to open the cupboards and take everything out! Because we have glass things in pretty much all of our cupboards, we had to put child locks on them all except for one which she still takes stuff out of!
Eleven Months!! She has grown up so much!! During her tenth month, she started to stand by herself and she even started walking!! Sometimes it makes me sad because she is definately not a little baby anymore but at the same time she is getting to be a lot more fun!

Twelve Months!! Happy Birthday to our little princess!! I can't believe she is already ONE!! Where does the time go?

Hi Kristen, it is Jenae! You have an adorable little girl. Wish her a happy belated birthday for me! Just out of curiosity, how long did she keep her hat on for? Did she rip it off right after the picture was taken like most one year olds?

She kept it on as long as we took her attention away from it and on something else. She did take it off a lot though, it took a while to get the picture.
