It happened anyway...

Maren turned 1 today!

My last belly picture, two weeks before Maren came.

First photos of Maren in the NICU.

Just before her first bath. That's my hand. Wasn't she TINY?

Here she was this morning. Cute as could be!

I can't believe it has been a year. (And I can't believe we all survived!) Maren is turning into quite the little person. She is learning words and understands so much we tell her. She plays games with us and is working on walking. Her newest favorite past time is to see how far she can get up the stairs before someone catches her! We fondly remember our little family a year ago when she surprised us early, but can't imagine going back to that time and leaving this exciting little being~

With all our love, sweet sweet little Mare-bear,

Mommy and Daddy
