Baby Hegarty Journey: 1 year birfday pics & more!

Here are some of my absolute faves of Sofie in her birthday tutu made by Chunky Monkey Creations during our photoshoot with Monique!

Of course there is always a funny memory or two that we make. I kid you not, but Sofie was not having any of this photo shoot business. She was actually yelling and sometimes crying during most of these pics, but she looks so happy. We couldn't help but laugh, hehe. Gotta love separation anxiety mixed with a sleepy baby. Miss Early Bird decided to wake up around 5 am, so once 9am rolled around...'nuff said! Nevertheless, we made the best of it and the pictures came out adorable *of course*

Here are some other good ones from the monthly photo shoot I do at home.

Back molars comin in, yowza!

Yay!

My OCD, Type-A self will shamelessly admit that I took these pics the day before her actual birthday, eek...I just knew I would be too busy partyin' with my #1 girl to be bothered, haha. Here she is on the day of her birthday

We had a great day. After her 1 year check up (with 3 shots, yuck!), Chey came by to visit and give her a birthday gift and a hair cut. It turned out super cute! Thanks again Chey!

Doctor's office

Then Jace came over for a few hours. It's so cute how he is super shy at first, but finally comes around. I bribed him with toys. He played really well with his "Sosie"

Once Rob got off work, I went and picked up some take out (J&K Chinese is the best). I also picked up a few cupcakes for the 3 of us to celebrate. It was pumpkin with cream cheese frosting, I think she liked it!

Now that all the crazy birthday shtuff is done, I really wanted to take some time to document some stats on Little Miss Independent.

I can't wait to see what's in store for us in this next year. Miss Independent is on the go and there are no signs of slowing down, we are just along for the ride!

October is definitely one of the busiest months for us. The weekend before last, we celebrated Rob's 29th birfday. Yikes! Hehe. He took Friday off & we went to the Zoo. It was our first time as a family, hehe. Little Miss wasn't all that interested in the animals, so we decided to go to the splash pad. She sure loves doing that! We got a lot of "Omg, she is so tiny and is already walking?!" or "How old is she???" Hehe. Super Baby, duh ;)

Then we came home and got ready for date night @ Ruth's Chris, yum!

Saturday I *kinda* surprised Rob with a day date to the shooting range. Really glad Nick came with us to help show us how to use Rob's new gun. It was my first time and it was a little scary, but I got over the jitters after awhile. In fact, Rob says I have a better shot ;)

A huge thanks to all the grandparents that help with babysitting, especially lately. We are so appreciative and grateful! What a blessing it is to be near family.

We wrapped up the weekend with what else: football! Had a little potluck with some friends & family. I also asked the Cards to win and they did. You're welcome AZ fans! Haha
