The Heacock Flock: Jolie turns 1!

*More pictures to come......

Jolie turned 1 on March 19th and it was bittersweet. It was fun because I decided to do a traditional Korean Dol party. She wore a beautiful habok from Kiana Roper, and we even had her do a doljabi game. The sad part for me was to reflect on how fast time goes.

The following week was Spring Break and I took her in to Tom's for a little photo shoot. This is a little fairy dress that Josie also wore at her 1 yr photo shoot. I thought I would devote this post to capture Jolie at this fun age. At age 1, Jolie says: "mama, dada, der (there), baby, hi and bye." She signs: thank you, more, all done, dog and the occasional please. She is not walking at 12 1/2 months-she still prefers to be carried. And I have to admit that I still love it. She loves waving hello & goodbye , blowing kisses and giving high fives. Jolie sleeps from 8pm-7:30am at night and takes almost a 3 hr nap in the afternoon with her brother & sister. I dropped her morning nap before the others did so that all 3 would be down at the same time.

Jolie your personality is sweet and generally easy-going, except we have seen a more feisty side the past few weeks. I love the way you pat your baby dolls and how you bobble side to side when you hear a song you like. It melts my heart when you fold your hands to pray. We also love how you like to play in your crib. When I walk in you are standing along the side & then I come to get you and you fall down & pull a blanket over your head and giggle. Sometimes I com in and peek on you and Josie when you are sleeping. It's very calming. I love to see you snuggled up on your tummy with your legs tucked underneath and your little bottom sticking up. When I need a smile I just tickle you and listen to you laugh. One of my prayers for you is that you will know just how beautiful you are because you are fearfully & wonderfully made by God himself! I love you....
