Happy Birthday dear Haven....how has a year gone by already?

One year ago Haven Quinn Ward was born.
 Immediately she was a welcome addition to our family!

A sweet little miss, that we had worried about while we waited her arrival. Perfect in every way!!

We celebrated with some cupcakes.
Our little sleeping beauty. Look at that little round face, and you just want to kiss it!


Mommy could not be happier, and neither could we. What a ray of sunshine she is!

 Without a doubt she is smiling at her gma!! :)
What, it's my blog I can believe whatever I want! :) :)

I have not been a very good gma. I have not blogged and put up pictures of this little miss as often as I did with her brother. I have taken tons of adorable pictures (well they are all adorable!!) and I have posted many of them on FB, just not on here like I should!

There are times and certain angles that I think she looks just like her big brother. When I look back at these pictures my heart melts! 


Here she is getting some sailing lessons from her big brother Lukas. Having a baby sister has been a bit of a challenge for him. You have to remember that when he was first told that he was going to have a new baby in the family he said NO, I just want a dog!! hahaha.... He is turning into the best big brother!!


Killer smile!!


The brightest eyes......when she smiles her whole face smiles!!!

She has always been interested in everything that is going on around her!!! Even now she has to know what is going on!! That is good until you are trying to get her to take a little nap.......better hope she doesn't hear something....or that is NOT going to happen!! :)


Looking through the pics I can see that little open mouth, tongue out pose started early!! :)
Yup, that is her foot in her mouth!! The cutest thing EVER!!

Places to go and people to see. She did the cutest roll instead of crawling for a long time. No problems getting from one place to the other! 
  

Those EYES.....and she has the long lashes to go along!! LOVE!


 Haven has her gpa wrapped tightly around her little finger. I am pretty sure she can do anything she wants. Right now she runs to him and say daaaaaaaaadid (or something close to that) grabs at his pant legs and reaches up! The other day he was in the other room with the door closed and she heard his voice and went running. When she couldn't get in she flopped on the floor and started to cry....little bugger!!

 One of the toys that big brother used to play with. It plays music, and this lady does LOVE here some music. She is a little dancer too. It is a great way for an old gma to get her into the livingroom. She is off and running so I push a button on the truck and she comes back in to dance!! We shall see how long that lasts!! :)


Nothing to hold her back, she started walking around furniture really early on!! 


And from the very beginning she wanted to CLIMB.....and holy cow does she LOVE to climb. She pulled this over to the couch even before she could walk and stood up so she could get on the couch!!!


Haven sporting her Easter outfit!

 Haven hold a special spot in her aunt Yaya's heart. Just in the last few weeks she has started saying Yaya and greets Sarah with open arms when she see's her!! I can guarantee you that she LOVES it!!


Off and running at 10 1/2 mos. Once she figured it out she was off and running....no stopping this little one!

One of Haven's favorite places to play...she can pull out the videos and carry them all around....then put them back....and out, and back....you get the picture!

I sure am smitten with this little miss. What a joy it is to watch her explore and learn.....She sure is different than her brother!! :) If she sees it, then it must go in her mouth! Sit and play with something for a bit...I think not!! :) She is very inquisitive, and loves to explore, watches you do something and tries it herself! :)

Enjoying her first camping experience!!

 Oh my goodness those eyes!!


 Our little bathing beauty....and yes she tried to eat the sand!

 Haven has a mind of her own!! And yes, that is a little scowl! So cute!!


First try at pigtails...as you can see 1 stayed in!!! :)

When she smiles the whole face lights up.....

And she can work that tongue like no other....Now that she has 2 teeth I am surprised she hasn't bitten that tongue!!


Looking up at gpa from a pool of shaving cream!! Fun times!


Boredom can set in if she can't run around!! hehe I am pretty sure she is ready for a nap here!!


Ggma Stark spending some time with Miss Haven!!

Peek a boo!! Another favorite.....pushing chairs around and hiding under that table!!


Gpa and his little loves!

How is it possible for her to be one year old already!? We celebrated her birthday a few days early. She never stopped going! She ran an played and ran and played. She was not as interested in her cake as Lukas was in his! But, she did oblige on making a huge mess!! :)


We LOVE you little girl! You are saying a few words, my favorite is ammaa of course! I am taking that as gma! :) Also, that deep HI you say with such a BIG smile!
I look forward to all the new adventures we will share in the coming years!
Your whole face smile brightens the world!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY
HAVEN QUINN WARD!!!!
