1 Year Old
My baby is turning one year old. What an eventful year it has been! Brinley’s got her own special little things she’s learned to do (like blowing spit bubbles) but for the most part she’s moving at her own pace. More than anything we’re just so glad we still have her with us. There have been many moments where I wasn’t sure she would make it to this birthday. We even had a 6 month birthday party for her at the hospital because we weren’t sure if she had months left in her. But she has been our little miracle and is doing so well. Here are a few photos of Brinley throughout the year…
Just after she was born, already bonding.

And just for fun here’s one of her glasses and one of those big smiles that we love so much!
Happy birthday Brinley!! (Birthday photos to come)

Hey Lttle Brinley!! We are so glad you had your first Birthday today. God really blessed us when he sent you to us. You are a special little princess. You came into our lives and you changed how we feel about children with special needs. You are a special little spirit to be cherished. You have special parents too.
