My Baby Girl is One!!

Anya Lynn, our second born child, was born one year ago today! My oh my, time has flown. Wasn't she just born? She is such a fun little girl. We are so glad to have her in our lives! Here are a few pictures taken of her this past year.

Here is Anya as a newborn with her red nose, eye bump, and all:


Grandma Roberts got to hold her soon after she was born:


Anya was such a good baby, and she immediately became Amelia's best buddy:


Anya in her blessing dress:


Sometimes we thought Anya was so cute that we just wanted to "eat her up." Amelia may have taken that too literally:


Anya loves to be fed by her big sister and best buddy, Milly:


We often find Anya "peeking around things" to watch us. We'd better be good, huh?


Our little girls love to play together:


Anya loves to crawl. That is probably why she refuses to walk!


Anya loves sticking out that tongue. Apparently she has the "Holt tongue."


Mommy loves Anya:


Anya's first Easter (Amelia and mommy ate all of her candy):


Notice Anya's big teeth!


Anya and her family at Daddy's graduation:


We love Anya, and we are excited to see her grow in body, spirit, mind and hair!!

What do you mean hair?? I think she has plenty!!! She is so adorable that she doesn't need hair. We love you Anya. Hope your birthday was fantastic. We can't wait to see you this weekend.
