Lils' Birthday

Sunday July 3rd was my niece Lil's birthday. This little girl is such a special, happy, beautiful baby and I simply love and adore her. She was born with a chromosomal disorder called Cri du Chat where part of the 5th chromosome is deleted. This little one is inspiring; she is determined to hit the milestones they say she wouldn't hit and does so with such a huge smile. She never complains. There is so much to learn from her; She has given us such a special opportunity to rely on God and grow both spiritually and personally. I only hope I can learn all she has to teach us. Her mom is absolutely incredible and I am continually in admiration of her strength, her faith, her positive outlook, her candor, and her example. She's a fabulous mom. To learn more about her story or about Cri du Chat, visit her blog.

So this little sweetie pie turned one year old this year! Almost of her cousins on both sides of her family were there to celebrate, plus both sets of her grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends. She had a cake and we all sang happy birthday to her, and we also had sundaes and fireworks for her. Good times were had by all.

I got this little outfit for Lils for her birthday. She couldn't have looked cuter in her festive little get up. 

He's a little party animal :)
