I can’t believe it’s here! On Sunday, my sweet Gracie Girl will turn one year old! What a joy she has been to us and what happiness she has brought to our lives. Every day is better with Gracie in it.
Happy birthday, sweet Puffalump! Mommy loves you so, so much!
HAPPY HAPPY Birthday! – My goodness, it seems like yesterday I was feeling your last-few-weeks-of-pregnancy back pain along with you. Where on earth did the last year go? (Oh, I know – it went into making this adorable little girl!). Congrats to you all!!
Thank you Katie for sharing your world with us, and this great reminder of the last year with your family. Congrats to you on making it to year #1 with Gracie, and a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you Grace.
Hi Katie, I’ve followed your blog for quite a while but never commented. I love this! Love. Your family’s love for Gracie is so evident in every photo. What a lucky litle girl! My son was born about two months after Gracie. I was in tears watching Gracie’s video! Can’t believe my Finn will be there before we blink. Thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful slideshow you’ve put together, and what an excellent song you’ve picked. I love Ben Folds’ music. Gracie is a darling. Happy birthday Gracie!
wow – that is the first time that I have listened to the Gracie Girl song…… love the pics! oh – and there is a hat she is wearing in one of the pics – white with a trim where she is wearing a heart-print shirt or bathing suit…. ummm…. where did you get that hat? I think Isabel needs one!
What a perfect song! I love how the lyrics said “I would never make you be anything you didn’t really want to be” (or something like that) and then a picture of her dressed as a flower popped up. Perfect 😉
Happy Birthday Gracie!!
I look at you and I see your sweet Mama at one year old smiling up at me. Such sweet and tender memories you bring back for me, Gracie Girl. But I also see your own twinkling eyes and flirty little giggle and I quickly know that you are your own little girl. My granddaughter. I’m a blessed blessed Nana!
Happy birthday Gracie girl!! That song was perfect!! Who was that singing? My little girl will be one in June and it has flown. Love reading what all y’all are up too. I just love your blog Katie!! Thanks for being an inspiration to all mommies. 🙂 would love to know how you made the video. I would love to do one!!
Great video! I too have a Gracie girl. She’s 4 now but when she turned 1 a friend told me about the Gracie girl song by Ben Folds Five. I made a her a 1 year video with the same song! It makes me tear up every time I hear it! U2 has a Grace song too. It’s a good one too. Happy Birthday to your sweet Gracie!
