Happy 1st Birthday Amberly!

{This note is a little late, I know....sorry Ambs when you read this in the future}

Little Amberly turned 1 on Saturday!  Do you even believe it?!  It just seems like last week we were finishing touring the hospital, getting pre-registered and seeing Dr Cowan very often!  The morning of Oct 16th, 2009, was a calm one, there was no rushing, hustle or bustle.  We had our bags packed and I even made a trip to Target.  We were so excited to meet Ambs and could not wait to see what she looked like {and man she shocked us with all that hair}....and this was our 1st pic as The Wardlow Family!

Here are 12 months of Amberly.....

The day of her actual birthday we were driving back from Austin from Matt and Sara's wedding.  Devoni had Amberly with her in Austin too so on their way home they stopped at a pumpkin patch - I love these pics of the her!  Her outfit says "Birthday Girl" on it.  Devoni is going to hate me, but while they were there, Ambs got into some ants.....they really aren't all that bad, and Devoni feels awful but really, Ambs is just fine - I think it hurt Devoni's feelings more than it hurt Ambs' legs....and living in TX I am sure this won't be the last time she has ant bites! 

We got home about 30 mins later to have our time with our little monkey.

One of my old pageant friends made Amberly a birthday sash....it says "I am 1 today" and "Birthday Girl" on it - so cute!  Thanks so much Luane!

Mom and Dad came over that night and gave Ambs their gifts.....2 Princess Baby books and the Princess Baby herself!  These are the cutest books for little girls and that night Ambs actually said "Baby" TWICE.....it was more like "aby aby" but we all knew what she said!  It was SO cute!

she tries to climb on everything......even over the couch....

She LOVES to pull hair too!

Grandma got her this really neat new car

We have had such a fun year with Amberly.  Watching her as she grows {too fast} and learns new things.  She brings us such joy every day and we are so blessed that she is our daughter.  

Happy Birthday AMW, you are our pride and joy and we love you more than you will ever know!  

Love, Mom and Dad
