Selah is one today!


Wow. This past year has really zoomed by! One year ago today, Selah came into our lives by cesarean. She has really lived up to her name "to pause and reflect". Her demeanor is calm and observant. When she smiles and laughs, we cannot help but smile and laugh with her. She can really light up! She is such a joy to watch and to love. People ask me all the time whether she is different to raise (being a girl and not a boy), and it is too hard to tell if it's different because she is a girl, or if it is because she is a different person, or if I am different. But I have a sneaking suspicion that it is a bit of all three.

Ryland and her have really taken to each other. Just last night he was running by her and running circles around her while she just sat and watched and laughed. It was adorable.

I am a bit nostalgic for this day but happy and eager to see what the coming years will bring us!

Here is a look back at a few photos of her first year...
