Dearest Ainslee Sugar Bear Bug,
I can't believe you are ONE year old already, although it does seem like forever ago that you were a tiny baby. Now you are a tiny toddler:) You weighed in at 15lbs and 15 ozs and measured 29.5 inches. You are in the 0% and 76% respectively. You doctor seems worried about your lack of weight gain, but I think you are fine, just have your Daddy's "tiny tot" genes. I'm going to try to fatten you up these next few weeks. You fit perfectly in 9 month outfits and some 12 months outfits, a size 3 diaper and size 3 shoe.
You are a little stinker, and I love you for it. You are silly and will throw your head back and grin that toothless grin. Yes, toothless at 12 months. Looks like they will all come in together. I hope you are a good teether! Standing on your ride-on toys and chairs is so fun for you and scary for Mommy. You must stop that, stinker. Carrying around a small board book or mini Disney princess doll is normal for you. You also really like baby dolls. You will love and hug and kiss them. Oh so cute. I think you may watch the dog and cat a little too much since you will lean your head down to get a bite on occasion. Missy is very patient with you and lets you pet on here often. Kissing her is often included in your routine.
Waving good-bye and night-night to sister brings a grin. You jabber but don't say much more than Dada for both Daddy and doggie and mama gets thrown in there every now and then. You will dance by bouncing up and down. So cute! Big sister has taught you how to spin on one foot and walk in a circle so quickly that you get dizzy an fall. Speaking of Lena Kate. You adore her, and her you. Y'all are best of friends and I hope that stays that way forever. You will chase her, almost running through the house. Clapping and pat-a-cake are fun games you play.
I LOVE this age, you are just learning so much and really starting to comprehend. You shake your head no and nod yes. If I am trying to give you a bite and you are not ready you just shake that little head of yours. You will also answer if you to eat or have some milk. As for eating. you like to snack and love yogurt, cheese puffs, and yogurt bites. You have my sweet tooth and I'm secretly excited. That means I can bake for you since your sister and father are just fine without. You let it be known when you want something and will show your temper if you are not happy. When I am working in the kitchen are you are tired you force yourself between the cabinet and myself and then lay your head at my feet. It is probably a good thing you are our last child because you don't like to share Mommy with sister and will force your way in if I am holding LK, usually adding your favorite whine. I have spoiled you and continue to rock/hold you to sleep and I'm sure I'll regret it when you are in a big girl bed, but for now I love to rock my baby. You are happy staying with Mimi but not-so-much anybody else. I hope you grow out of that soon.
What a joy and blessing you are to us. You have completed our family and I love how different you are from your sister. You have your own personality and hold your own in a room full of people. I thank God for my baby girl everyday and pray that I follow his will in teaching you how to grow up a Christian girl.
Happy first birthday Ainslee! We love you with all our hearts!
Happy Birthday Blazer...

Oh my goodness, those blue eyes are killing me! Our girls are teeny tots together!
That last picture of her is just TOO ADORABLE! She is precious, Elaine. Pretty sure both of my kids have been in the 0% weight range for forever. Lexi is 20 months and she just now hit 20 lbs. She hung out at 16 pounds for fooorever! I say if they're happy, growing, and reaching their milestones they are a-ok!
